Default Factory cassette swap to CD ?

It looks like I'm buying a 99 C5 coupe, it has the factory cassette with CD changer. I would like to replace the cassette deck and put a factory CD player in the dash. Is this a plug in style swap or does the CD player require a different harness, also with the in dash CD, can I still keep the CD changer operational ?

Thanks in advance.

I just changed out my factory cassette player for a cd player the other day. mine was a direct changeout, no additional harness necessary. I'm not sure about the 99's about whether they are the same as like the 03's and such. Mine is a 2002 and I installed one from a 2003 vehicle. It was very very simple. About 10-15 minutes total time and most of that was just getting the dash bezel off and putting it back. You should still have full operation of the changer.
