Check this one $125.00:

This supposedly leaves the 12-disk changer in place, gives a headphone style jack and a USB port for charging. This is the only one I have ever seen that does not disconnect the CD changer. Plug it in and done.
You'll have to e-mail them to be sure that is is connected AND functional.
Here is the C5 install guide:

Here's my story. I bought a 1999 C-5 a coulple years ago without a CD changer. I bought a 2004 12 disc changer on Ebay which had the mounting brackets attached, but could not find the brackets that are attached to the well. I bought the cable on Ebay which was a little short, but worked out because I got a 1/2" thick board, countered-sunk in the back 4 carridge bolts for the the bracket on the player to mount. I then used JB Weld Kwik (which sets up in 4 minutes to attach the board (which I painted Gray) to the well on the right back side because the cable did run a little short (supposed to be on the left back side of the well). The connection in the footwell is on the bottom left side tucked away. There's 2 but only one will work on the cable. An earlier posting had pics so search for it. The cable I bought also had pics & instructions, but I can't find them.

I have a 12 CD changer, my iPod, and my SAT Radio plus a spare input for any other device I might want to add in the future. All play through my stock Bose head unit and speakers.
