Adding a cd changer
I know over the years a lot of people have sold their 12 disc changers. I have thought I would like to have one but my 99FRC didn’t come with one originally. It does have the Bose system which doesn’t really mean anything other than for information purposes. I’m wondering if GM included the harness for a changer even in cars that weren’t ordered with one. Any of you have any experience with this possibility?

They don’t last or work very good, I’ve had to remove mine several times because the disk gets stuck in it. Finally the last time the tray broke when I removed it, so it just sits in there. If I could find another disk probably try it again. Good luck

before I went with a DD unit (which I recommend, bose is garbage), i had the bose single CD system. GM DID put a cable from the back of the single CD head unit to the passenger footwell. All you have to do is pull the access panel, buy a cable, and run if from the passenger well to the rear. on some cars (it appears to be random), GM included a cable from the footwell to the rear.
It didn't matter to me, you CAN connect an interface to the plug in the passenger footwell, and get reasonable quality bluetooth and an AUX input. much better then doing a crappy 12 disc changer.
