Yup that sounds right.

There is only one model that fits the Delta CC radio as far as I know.
It's the Audi 6-disc changer OEMed from Alpine, and works with the
proprietary changer control protocol of the Delta CC radio.  No aftermarket
changers support the same protocol, and at one time someone set out to
develop an adapter/convertor and failed.  If you need extra changer
magazines for these, you can order the Alpine 4905 model from a car
stereo dealer.

BTW for those who are wondering, the Delta CC is the stock Audi radio
that is fitted to North American 96-97 Audi A4, A6 and A8 models.  There
is a different "Delta" radio used in earlier Audis and that is not what's
talked about here.
