Dude;
I just installed a CD Changer in our 03 AE Vert last weekend; Time about one hour and a half. I took my time and remebered like many things in life "if it don't fit, don't force it!" Look in the C5Tech section for instructions on installation. I have included all the needed part numbers for the project.
Please feel free to IM or email if I can be of further assistance.
From ??partsdirect (??=GM) I had to do this in order to post a non supporting vendor, this new Forum software sure has a tight sensor!
1-12495746 12 Disc CD Changer and Cartridge $359.40 (includes S&H)
1-12497876 CD Changer mounting kit $86.40 (includes S&H)
This kit includes the main bracket which mounts to the rear tub
and the wiring harness.
1-25678545 12 Disc CD Cartridge $43.23 (Inlcludes S&H)
This isn't required, but having an extra is nice.
The other items needed for the install you can get locally:
Several 1/8 inch pop rivets
JB Weld or Epoxy Glue
Wire ties

Hope this helps!
Bill :) :)

I bought the factory CD changer, brackets, & harness all from Eckler's. It plugs into the factory Bose system, with no cutting and works off the radio up front, just like when you get it from the factory. Install was easy and it works great. If you want more info....email me........... :seeya :seeya :chevy :chevy
