He probably was straight up, but not very far up-- the guy doesn't 
know what he's talking about (but I believe he believes what he's 
saying).

Call Crutchfield. They can tell you exactly what adaptor you need to 
install ANY CD Changer in your Jetta.

Older, (92-95) Jettas had a Panasonic head unit, and therefore, the 
Panasonic changers fit best (i.e. without an adaptor) for those 
years. Between 95 and 99, the head unit was Clarion, and same thing-- 
the cd changer that was easiest to install was a Clarion.

Still, it's easy enough to use any changer in any car.

I don't know what the head unit is in the new Jettas so I can't be of 
much help there.
