Default 12 disk CD player

Went for my 1st ride of the year today and it was wonderful! The radio was not showing a CD disk symbol and would not play. Removed all disks and reinstalled them into player several times and they are in correctly you can hear it working in the player but nothing on the radio. Cassette player and radio works fine and the CD did last year before i put it away. Going to unplug it tomorrow and see if that does anything, any suggestions would be great. 2000 M6. And like before got the gas gauge drops to zero after 50 miles, reset code and came back up. Thanks

I think the 12 CD changer is a cool option. Does anyone know if there is a pig tail that is already run to the rear of the car that can just be a plug in?

Not sure mine was a option and already in there. Also got a cassette adapter at Walmart today and a Apple connector so I now can play my Sirius/ play list from my iPhone and a total cost of about $18.

Yes are other cars equipped with the 12 disc changer plug?

I'm pretty sure some Cadillacs had the 12 disc changer, and I think it was an Fbody option, too.

Pull the fuse and plug back in. It will not be blown, but it resets the radio\cd changer. The fuse panel is under the passenger foot well for the radio....

I wish we still had an option of a CD player on the C8. Or have an option of nothing and let you put your own unit in.
