We prove that the higher-dimensional Contou-Carrère symbol is invariant under the continuous automorphisms of algebras of iterated Laurent series over a ring. Applying this property, we obtain a new explicit formula for the higher-dimensional Contou-Carrère symbol. Unlike previously known formulas, this formula holds over an arbitrary ring, not necessarily a Q-algebra, and its derivation does not employ algebraic K-theory.
