Author Topic: Radio Question - FB - Hawkeye 5th Gear Member # 88 posted                       Mark - 02 35th LE, has just inherited a 12 CD changer unit from one of Scott's kids that didn't make it. I see the wiring harness has a plug in it. Is it a direct plug in? How will it work with the in dash CD from the factory? Does the in dash unit become disabled? Anyone done this yet?

I beleive that changed in either '99 or '00. Anything after '00, the headunit can be either a CD or Tape and still control a changer. To tell if it will work, the button should be labeled CD / AUX. With that setup you can use the indash player and the changer, multiple presses of the CD/AUX button switch between them.

Did it have anything to do with HTWLSS? The 98 and 99 cars' head unit won't work with the changer unless you have a tape deck. If you have a in dash CD it won't work and you need to get a post 99 head unit. Sorry, I have a bad memory [ 21. August 2003, 01:36 PM: Message edited by: mhayman ] -------------------- Mark H. Whoever said you couldn't run away from your problems obviously wasn't driving an SS.
