What EXACTLY will I need?
I have a 02Z06 with stock a Bose single CD system. I want to add a factory CD changer to the factory system. What will I need to complete the job? Anyone happen to have what Ill need for this and wants to sell it, let me know.

You'll need to find the 2 plugs in passenger foot well (an '02 should have them), then connect COR-Har cable and run it to trunk where you plug in the changer.
Or....
Find a cheap used iPod and contact C5 BearsFan to get what you need to connect it. Should cost about the same and you'll have your entire CD collection instead of just 12

I have the Pioneer 12 disk changer and two 12 disk magazines, from my deceased '04 C5 coupe. They are in great shape, not used very often. Not sure of the hook up stuff you'll need for to your HU though. PM me if interested.

I would also like to know if the harness is available and from where..how much? Lots of these come up for sale but all missing the harness.
Don't bother telling me about Ipods. The car has obout every option available in 99 but not the changer. May consider me wierd but I'd like to add the option as it came factory.

The hardest part about adding a changer is finding the two plugs in the foot well. One is prob exposed, the other is prob taped to another harnss near the outside wall by the a pillar. It may even be behind the plastic trim.
Cor-har is avail here

Once cord is attached to plugs just plug other end in to changer.
Changer can be attached to car with OEM brackets, or just wedged in rear pooka between some foam.

So the cable they list has the correct plug ends to attach to the factory wiring and the factory changer?
On mine the three wire plug was easy. The other was clipped to the plastic panel with the wires facing out (sort of backwards). Looking at it I thought it had something already plugged in. Once I released it from the panel and turned it around it was evident that it was the other CD plug.
