There is 2 connectors there for the Harness to run to the rear, You still need the harness to run to the changer. Not installed in the car if it never had a changer.

I went and installed a changer in my car and used it for 2 years. Now I removed it and installed an itouch. IMO this is the only way to go.

OK, i understand but if i need to change my stock radio with a Ipod radio that would cost a t least 260$, then an Ipod would cost at least 150$ , so then i need to download songs (legally) at 1$ a pice, so i rather do it my way.

CD changer install
The connectors can be tucked under the carpet and/or tied to the metal support.The COR-HAR wirwe harness from PIE can be had for $65- .This is the aftermarket wire harness as GM no longer stocks a harness for the CD changer.
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-g...post1570652908You will also need the vertical mounting bracket no longer available from GM.

FYI and DIY
As far as the harness , I posted a picture of the COR-HAR harness (PIE, INC.). It has the ten (10) pin connector for the CD changer and a three (3) and a four (4) pin connector(s) that plug into your existing harness at the footwell location.
Do you need an OEM verticle mounting plate ? No, if you can think of another way to mount the Cd changer vertically ( these CD changers are made to mount vertically and don't work as well horizonal).
FYI the two (2) CD side mounts and the verticle mount can be purchased for $165. But fabricating a DIY vertical mount is just a few dollars.

Chuck, you will need part number 25685332 model CDX-M2016 Pioneer or Delco 12 disc CD changer.

Chuck, i really hate to say this - and please don't take offense: welcome to the '80s!!!
you should listen to mr. Bill's advice. you can buy a mp3 player that will fit all your cd's for much less than $100. you don't have to get the newest i-pod and you don't have to download i-tunes. burn your cd's to your computer and download to the mp3 player. easy!!!
but it's your car - as always, do what you like...
