Default C5Z wired for OEM disc changer?

Just like it says...can the stock disc changer be added via straight plug 'n play?

Yes. Obviously you'll need the wiring harness for the changer.

Eckler's sells a harness that is supposed to plug in at both ends.

Yes and No. The two connectors are located at the passengers feet and kick panel area ( a three and four wire connector)[IMG][/IMG]


The harness I use is from a harness from PIE specific to the C5 FRC/Z06 ( Cor-Har) http://www.pie.net/pie_store/shopdis...EM+%2D+Factory

I have have found that just looking around you can find this harness for less than $70.http://www.mvpautoparts.com/audio-adapters/

You will also need to fabricate a mounting plate for the CD changer's attachment brackets. I use ( done three so far) an aluminum plate that is afixed to the rear vertical panel of the center recess with (1) one inch wide strips of 3M double side acrylic Plus foam tape , that is used for exterior body moldings , rocker panel trim, ect ,(you'll need to use the 3M adhesion Promoter i.e. 06396 to insure bond) around the parameter of the mount plate. (2) physically bolt on the mount plate to the rear vertical panel with the addition of a sealant. Both have been sucessful.
