Factory CD Radio with 12 disc changer

Can anyone tell me why a factory CD radio from a camaro does not work with the factory cd changer that used to work with a factory cassette radio? Should it work?

Not all CD HU's came with changer controls. That changed some time during the '99 model year. After that all CD HU's had changer controls.

Correct. '00-'02 Monsoon CD HU's will control the changer. Some late '99 CD HU's will do it as well, but unless you know for a fact that the CD HU out of a '99 controlled a changer in a '99 as well, then you're taking a gamble. They all have the same faces, so don't go on looks.

However, the '97, '98, and '99 CD HU's are all dark gray, I'm not sure what color '00's are, but the '01 and '02 HU's are black. If you don't mind the color mismatch.

Ok. I have acquired a '00 Monsoon radio and it works with the cd changer. It's the same color. Thanks for the advice.
