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?

Thanks,

Brian.

The earlier LS1 cars could not have a CD in the dash and a changer.

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.

It's a direct plug in. The in dash CD will work like normal. [Smile]

I believe Mike is correct. This came up a long, long time ago. 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 [Frown] [Embarrassed]

To use a CD head unit in a '98 or '99, you need to get a unit dated later than April of '00 in order for it to work.

So - the car is an '02 - the unit is from a
2000 - it should work!

Thanks.
