It will work, but if the cable isn't there, you will need to get a cable to run from the back of the head unit to the trunk center compartment. I'm sure someone is parting out a car where they will have one. Check really well to make sure the cable isn't there and maybe hiding along the side compartments or anything first though.

Not wanting to "hijack", but for me, all of the cables are there, but the player was missing and over the years have longed for a CD player in the back. Does it have to be Bose? What other brands will plug in? Something new, not used would be nice. Would like it to be compatable with the indash system.

PM'ed you, rustyguns.
Robert, not to discourage anyone wanting to stash a CD changer in the back to take advantage of the convenience of stuffing 12 of your prized CDs in at a time, I pulled that very changer out 6 months ago to install SOTA audio to leap into the 21st century. Granted it's a big, expensive step but you can take one small, inexpensive step to increase your convenience and enjoyment of your stock system simply by converting your CDs to MP3s using free software and buying an iPod/MP3 player that costs less than the COR-HAR cable and has enough memory to store the equivalent of a huge number of CDs. The conversion is simple and sold by DD Mods, one of our vendors here. You then plug the MP3 player in and control it using your factory head unit.
Here's what I upgraded the audio to.

Thanks, Trios, for that correction. 
I should have expanded on the different levels of control, depending on the device. I'm so used to the Kenwood setup we have that controls the iPod 100%, I forgot to list the limitations of the factory hu. Still, it's light years better than CDs. Pandora is next.

Answering your original question, in case you decide to go with the CD changer, the original changers were made by Pioneer for GM. A Pioneer should plug in because I've used Pioneer CD magazines in the factory player. I put a changer in my Z06 a long time ago and I'm still happy with it. I used all factory parts to install it and it was easy. You should be able to find everything on the forum parts section.

I have the harness that goes from the footwell to the back of the car, and plugs into the player. I'd be willing to let it go fairly cheap if you're interested. LMK
