Default Does the NAV include a 6-Disc CD Changer?

I thought I had a 6-Disc changer behind my NAV display yet it only seems to accept one CD at a time. Does the NAV include a 6-Disc CD changer or is it just a one disc player? If it's a 6-Disc, how do I get disc 2 - 6 into it?

Is this a bug, or a failure to notify? The GM site says no 6 CD player with NAV but does not mention the lack of MP3 ability. In fact it does more to imply it does play MP3's.

It won't steer me from the car but I wished it would do what it says. MP3 is darn near a necessity in today's world.

Yep, we're all pretty steaming pi$$ed about it!

Don't worry, though, there's an upgrade path in the works. GM is rumored to be coming out with an add-on 8-track player sometime toward the end of Q2 this year.

Sorry. We're screwed. Accept it.

This sucks! I just shelled out $1400 for the NAV system because I thought that it had a 6 CD changer behind it...is that option only on the "cheaper" stereo? What is GM's problem?

The "premium" radio with the 6 CD changer and MP3 capability that you *paid* for as part of the 1SB package is *deleted* when you order the Nav. They don't refund any of the money you paid, though.

It's in the details---small print can be a pain if not careful. From the early on literature it seems GM covered the single CD with NAV adequately. Now, the saleperson at the dealership might not. Any good one would have pointed this out to the perspective buyer. Unfortunately, the old adage , "Buyer Beware!" is still true. So the devil is in the details.

What's a MP3 and how have I survived this long w/o it Well at least I saved all my 8 tracks with all the room behind the dash.... I'm still hoping for an option to play my
"78" lp records in the dash I mean, after all, they are still the
"ORIGINAL CD" Hate to throw out history gotta have a "reverb" option too!

Now, don't let this question send you I just got my C6 on 02/02 -- what's a NAV? I assume mine doesn't have NAV, whatever that is, because mine does have the changer and MP3.

A 6 chg system is only about $150 more than a single. $1,400 is relatively inexpensive for a Nav System. It's a $2K option on most cars. My guess is the $1,400 reflects a credit for no 6 changer.

Naw, they invented the nav (and especially the "reroute" command) for LA traffic jams.

Default Dealer installed CD changer?

What ever happened to the dealer installed CD changer that was talked about for cars with the NAV? I thought it was supposed to be available this past December.
