Single CD to 6 CD
Anyone know if you can upgrade a basic single CD player with the 6 CD unit? I have the base interior.

Thanks, I enjoy the forum.

Yes you can upgrade from the stock single CD player unit to Corvette's optional 6 disc CD unit. I ordered a C6 6 disc unit off of the "auction site" and it hooked up and fit fine.
BUT, you will have to go to your local chevy dealer to get them to program the audio unit to work in your car otherwise it will be in a lock mode. It cost me $95 for the dealer to do that.

but, the $95 charge was a little high for 10 minute's of work...would have been fair at 1/2 labor rate or $45...

Since you joined in May of '08, I'll assume you have an '08 with single disc.
That unit is capable of playing a CD formatted with MP3 music. You can get over 200 songs on one MP3 formatted CD. That's far more music than an expensive 6 disc changer can contain & it's what I do.

never been a big fan of the cd changer always found them to mess my cd's up. Even though to be honest if you ever get a ipod with a connection where you can control it from your steering wheel controls or radio controls. You'll never want to go back again it's just something having over 20,000 songs from something that fits on your pocket. Even though if you are a audio junkie def. go with the straight connection because going through your radio just doesn't sound as good as cd's. Now if you can't tell the difference in cd sound compared to radio then you'd never notice the difference from straight connection from radio connection.
