Default CD Changer

Do all C5 vettes come pre-wired for a CD changer from the factory? I know on some F-bodies (Cars with upgraded Monsoon 500w sys) come with a pre wiring kit that sits up in the upper d/s rr deck, its just a matter of plug and play after that. I ask only cause I have an extra changer and will keep it if the Vette is pre-wired - even if theres just a chance it may have it

I believe the harness for the changer ends at approx. the middle of the door (passenger side) The changer includes a harness from the rear storage forward (meeting the other harness in the middle of the passenger door sill area)

Not all Corvettes have the cable. You can buy them from Bob at Fitchner Chevrolet if you don't. I had to purchase the cable for the stock install.

Corvettes without the remote changer from the factory will need the cable harness kit to install one - been there.
