Multi-disc in-dash CD options?
My wife's '02 C5 has the single disc CD player, and she'd really like a multi-disc player. She is not interested in any of the trunk mounted units. She definitely wants a 6 disc in-dash. Is anyone aware of any options? Despite the fact that both Ford and Chevy offer these as OEM on other vehicles, I've had three stereo shops tell me there is no viable aftermarket equivalent, and I find that difficult to believe. Tried the search, but no luck. TIA

I called Crutchfield inquiring about the same product. They indicated that with the emergence of in-dash CD players which support MP3, the capacity is so large that the market of multiple CD players has dried up.

Use the auxiliary in put and get an i-pod or an other MP3 player, that is what I plan on doing. CDs are going the way of the 8 track and cassettes. I purposely did not get the changer with my car.

Won't work, the BCM controls the stereo in the C6. And all other 6 disc indash GM players

I don't have an answer for the multiple CD in dash unit question, but I have an alternative solution...( It does require fabrication of the dash and it's like $1300)
P.S. This is NOT my car, but I have the same unit- Kenwood Excelon DDX-7015
