c5 radio, does not recognize cd changer
Is there anything that I can do to make my radio recognize the cd changer? Both radio and cd changer are stock units for the car. They did come from different cars. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. I have had three different cd changers in it. One would play but not eject to box, another would say track 0. Now I can not get the head unit to switch to the changer at all. Thanks

I put this together for the GM10-Aux adapter, but it may work with an actual changer also. Everywhere you see GM10-Aux just plug/unplug the 10 pin cable at the changer. Good luck!
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
-unplug GM10-Aux from Cor-Har changer cable
-let it sit overnight (a few hours at least)

It's an adapter that lets you listen to other music sources thru the radio.
Just substitute your changer everywhere you see that in the instructions (unplug the cord at the changer).
