Default Adding a CD changer

Is the C5 prewired for a CD changer?

What I am getting at is mine doesn't have a changer but I have the exact changer that apparently came stock sitting on my shelf. Will it easily hook up to the existing radio and is it already wired for it?

Anyone have any experience in this?

Thanks

I added a changer to my 2002 and I needed the harnedd that comes from the front to the changer, In the passenger foot well there is 2 plugs that the harness plugs into and that was it, There is a write up on this, Try a search for it.

I did it ,you will need the wire harness ,it runs from the passenger foot well ( there are two connectors there) then you run the wire back to the middle storage compartment .Plug and play .Your factory head unit has an auxiliary button which will turn the unit on .If you need the number for the harness Just google it ..Or do a search here many have done it ..
