Someone on the LS1.com board is
selling there factory CD changer.
The seller claims it plugs into an
existing harness. What I am interested
in finding out is if this is infact true
and I am also curious about how and
where the changer mounts in the trunk.
Do you guys like this option?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks Guys.

I have a 2000 'Vert SS with the CD Changer mounted to the left side of the trunk area.

If your car didn't have a CD changer when it was built, don't count on it having the necessary wiring harness. Hey, you never know until you look. I highly doubt it though.

That's one option I'd not get if I bought another. Too awkward to load and takes too much trunk space.

Thanks for the reply's!
I spoke to the Mass Electronics
technition (GM warranty approved)
and he said that the CD changer is
not compatible with the in dash CD player.
He said that the CD changer has to have
the in dash cassette player!

We tried a '99 head unit and it didn't work. It must be '00 or newer.

A 2000 or newer in-dash CD player is compatible w/the factory changer.

We replaced our cassette w/a 2000 head unit and it works just fine w/our changer.

I like mine. My Cartridges are usually sorted by types of music so I only change them when my mood changes. It usually takes me a while to get through 12 discs anyways.

My 2000 SS has an CD head unit. Works great with the changer. No complaints here...

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure about the in-dash unit not being compatible. My '01 SS has the in-dash unit and the CD changer and works fine. That's the way I ordered it. Maybe something changed?

In '99 you could only order a changer w/ cassette.

In '00, a CD head unit was available and compaitible w/the changer. (A credit was given if the cassette was ordered.)

If you have a '99, and you want to have a CD player up front and a changer in the back, the head unit must be dated '00 or newer.

Gee, do I have a cassette player in my car? I can't even remember. I have the changer and just load up twelve discs every month or so. I never even noticed a cassette. I'll have to look when I get home.

Compare your prices from the dealer vs. a stereo shop.
Pioneer is the brand of magazine. It ran around $80 from the dealer.http://www.radiosandmore.com can give you a price.

My 2000 has the CD on the dash and the 12 disc changer and when the car was in the shop I found myself missing the changer and the steering wheel controls. I love it, especially with the Monsoon 500 watt system.
