Well, As I said. The dealers mechinic said He did nothing to mess up the CD changer. They wanted Me to pay $75.00 an hour for Him to track the problem. I went home and unpluged it for about 5 Min. Pluged it back in and it works fine now.This was suggested by another forum member and it worked.Thank You.

I exhaust every means possible to fix a problem myself before I go to the dealer. Dealers are ripoffs .

What did the mechanic do to your car that was related to the audio?

I hope you get further with your complaint that I have with mine. I've gotten absolutely zero help when I've complained about dealers.

Best of luck.

Glad that is behind you.... Now find a local mechanic that knows Vettes for all your future work that you can't/don't want to do yourself.

Prior to replacing my headlight switch on my '98, I called the local Chevy Dealer and asked how much they would charge to replace it. Service Dept said $400, but the paint scatchs, finger prints, and having to bring it back to fix something they screwed up was all free. Needless to say I did it myself.
