I've seen many comments made thet the newer C5's already are pre-wired (or partially so) for the factory CD changer... even on the C5's that never had the changer.
Re: "pre wired" for factory CD changer???? (Mike Mercury)
Prewired means that there are connectors in the passenger side footwell. You stil have to buy a $90 cable from GM, which then goes to the back of the car. "Prewired" my azzz!!

thanks for the info. BTW, you can get the factory CD changer harness (that goes to the back of the coupe) from Fichtner for $47.
There are two CD changer related connectors in the passenger footwell area (near the fusebox). One is a 4 pin (I think that is the line level audio inputs to the head unit). The other connector is 3 pin and contains ground, 12v, and the serial data line.
