Default CD Stacker Stopped Working

It seems I never learn..Last week I removed my cd-stacker in order to install Koolmat in the back of my 98 coupe. All I did was remove the screws and unplug it from the wiring harness. I installed the Koolmat, plugged in the cd-stacker, mounted it back in the same position with the same screws. Tested the electrical by opening the door to see if the cd cartridge popped up. It did, so I thought all was well. I started the car and pressed the AUX/CD button nothing , not an error message, nothing. The radio still works fine. What happened? Do I need to reset something?


Ok...24 hours and no response. I am thinking no one has had this problem?????

Afternoon...you are not alone. Stacker stopped working last week. Err message would come on and then the radio would cut back in. Tried the "unplug" process. Now the cd icon does not even show up on the screen even after pushing the Aux button. Even tried to hit the reset button on the stacker. Not sure what to do. Going to replace the radio fuse to see if that works. If not, it's time to dig out the cassettes.

Did you check for codes? Might sound nutty, but......it's not. Good luck.

Good evening. Thanks for the heads up. Ran codes and nothing came up. Time to get 1 of the c3's back on the road again. Less complicated.

Time to update the system. Right?? Hoping for the inexpensive fix. Rather spend the money on other mods like exhaust.

I've been going round and round with the changer in my 03 coupe since I got it, last December. I've had the pleasure of actually playing cds a few times. It has, however
scratched up and cracked 2 of my favorite ones. Previous owner said he gave up on it, and had a cassette thing that played ipod stuff, but sound was marginal. I hesitate to change the head unit out to double din. It seems that Chevrolet screwed the pooch on this deal.
Good luck- I hope you find a fix.
Oh, a guy on utoob took his loose from the brackets, and gave it a good smack. Remounted it and it worked. Sounds kinda crazy...

If you can't get it fixed. and still want to remain with the stock setup, I have both the radio, and cd changer in storage, and would be willing to sell l them.

Of course, who buys CD’s nowadays?
Get an adaptor to plug in the stock radio, to run an iPod through. All your music on your LT can be in your car!

Saw the same video. His cd was stuck do to a trapped disc. Not going to give up yet. It worked for two weeks. Could be time to update. Thanks again for your response.
