Default CD changer wont load CDs?

so ive had my vette for abt a month and a half now and i just found out that it indeed did have the 12 disk changer in the trunk...i always just thought it had the cassette player only hahaha so i was stoked on finding it so i loaded a bunch of CDs in there and the changer cant recognize them. it will pull one in and then change it to another automatically. YES i made sure theyre all facing in the right direction and fit perfectly. and im only using store bought CDs and no burned CDs...at first i thought it was just burned CDs that wouldnt register btu its all CDs

anyone have this problem before or know how to fix it??

Thanks!

Evan

You know that the "right" direction is actually upside down right?

as others have said... make sure you put the cd's in upside down into the cartridge. I had the same issue when I first bought my vette until I learned this from the forum here. I had never seen a cd changer that you loaded that way until this one.

I eventually got rid of the changer completely when I went to my ipod.

don't feel dumb.... many people have went through the same thing. what's dumb is how they designed the changer to where you had to load them upside down into your cartridge

As others have said, don't feel bad, I did the same thing when I got my C5 4 years ago.
