Just Purchased OEM 6-CD Changer for a 2002 W/ Monsoon

Can you help a newbie? Just purchased the OEM changer for the trunk. After I complete the installation, do I have to visit the Dealer in order to have the radio programmed to recognize the new unit?

Thanks in advance for the help!

If your car has never had a CD changer in it.. then yes the dealer (or someone with a VAG-com) will have to recode the headunit to look for the CD changer
are you guys sure about that, I just put the changer in, and the HU just picked up.

that goes the same with my MFD.

These days it appears that the radios come coded correctly for CD Changers. For most people, its just plug and play.

The only easy way to know is to just do it.
I plugged the changer in and it worked right away! Thanks, you saved me a trip to my local dealer and $$$$!
