C5 CD changer in Z06-- will it work???

[Corpvette]

I want to take the cd changer out of my 2000 C5 and put it in a Z06. I'm pretty sure this can be done, but I wanted to find out what parts/connectors I needed to take out of the C5 to make sure I have all the parts I need to put it in a Z06-- can someone please help me out? Thanks.

buy the installation kit from ken fitchner for $90.00.
it has everything you will need.

and I hope you have better luck finding the connectors for the harness than I am having!

Now you know why GM sells two different CD changers for the C5. The RF one is much faster for the dealer to install.

Many people have done this install. I would got to the general or tech section and keep posting until someone responds.

that's exactly what I am doing.

I really don't want an RF interface for the changer. this radio has changer controls built into it and I would rather use it that way.
I will make it work, I'm not out of options...........yet! :D

I'll just get the service manual and find the wires in the harness, I can get the 3 wire connector from a corvette junk yard and wire it in myself, if I have to! :cheers:

one other thing.

you can bet that when I do finally get this thing to work, I will be posting a tech tip on what to do if you do not have the changer connectors. :cool:
