Default Cd changer huh

I installed a new Pioneer head unit in my 1999 C5 and I’d like to connect the factory 5- cd changer to it- can that be done ? Thanks

Okay, first try the Audio/Electronics forum. But, to answer your question. The OEM CD changer is a 12 disc and was made by Pioneer. You would probably need an old Pioneer H/U to have any possibility of this working.

You could cut 7/12ths of the OEM unit off. That would leave you with a 5 disc changer.
There is always a way if you have enough time and money. Definitely not going to be cost effective.

I couldn’t imagine carrying around a bunch of CDs again.

Me either, especially when you have cassette deck like I do lol. But I do also have a player in the back. Never tried it though.
