C5 12 Disc CD Changer question...
I just bought my first C5, a pre-owned 2000 that has a 12 disc CD changer. I notice nothing in the owners manual about being able to play a single CD in the dash mounted player if you have the changer.
The changer works fine but I can't seem to play a single CD.
Is this normal??
Thanks,
Jerry

I have a 12 CD changer in my 2000 cpe. I have a tape player in the head unit. In order to go from one to the other you need to hit the "tape/Aux" button.
You might want to try it. Or look to see if the CD magazine in the changer was installed correctly.

I have the single cd and a 12disc, 2000cpe...
You have to hit AUX/CD twice to get to the single CD, if it says ERR tho, might be a problem with the deck, or try a non-burnt CD if its a cd-r...

Thats odd. I have a 2002 Z06 and I installed a 12 disk changer. I can use both the changer and the single cd player in the head unit. I can hit the cd/aux button on the head unit and it alternates between the cd in the head unit and the 12 disk changer. Hitting the number 5 button changes disks in the disk changer.
I just noticed that someone mentioned about hitting the cd/aux button twice to change between each other, I dont have to do that, I just hit it once.

At least maybe for a half-way reasonable price.

12 disc changer
On a previous 2000 vert, I had the dealer install a GM 12 disc unit along with the single one that came with the vert from the factory.
We could play the single one and or, the 12 disc changer with No problems.
Maybe the install was done incorrectly on yours?

I have a 2000 vert with in-dash cd player and 12 disk in trunk. Plays both just fine. As was said earlier, you select which you want to use with the AUX/CD button. I'm pretty sure the instructions for it are in the owners manual. I'll check for sure later.

I am convinced that the other forum members are correct in suggesting that you have a head unit problem. Maybe time to upgrade to a NAVI system???
