Factory radio not recognizing CD changer???
I was working on my 2000 the other day and disconnected the battery for probably 24 hours. When I connected the battery back, naturally the theft code had locked my radio out. I got the code in the radio. But now it will not recognize and play the CD changer (see note below)
The am/fm works, the single CD player works, but when I push the button to get the changer to work it does nothing, just continues to play the CD.
(note) I do have one of the PIE GM AUX12 interface adapters in place of the changer, but this has never been an issue before. I use this to play my MP3 player of Pandora on my phone.
Any ideas??

From post #9 in the C5 audio FAQ thread:
Trouble getting your stock head unit to recognize GM10-Aux?
Sometimes if you loose power to the radio (dead/disconnected battery), or unplug the GM10-Aux converter, your stock head unit may not want to go to or stay on "Disc 1 Track 1" like it should. After getting some advice from other forum members I put thogther this little procedure that has worked for me every time so far:
-unplug GM10-Aux from Cor-Har changer cable
-let it sit overnight (a few hours at least)
-with car still off, plug in GM10-Aux
-let it sit for at least 10 minutes
-turn on car & radio, select changer on radio
-if it works (Disc 1 Track 1) you're done
-if it doesn't work, leave car running but turn off radio
-unplug GM10-Aux, then reconnect it
-turn on radio, it should work
