Another junk yard treasure!!!!
Was at a yard today seeing what was available for good used tires (I hate wasting new tires on winter driving), :( but only found one tire so I still have to get another in the morning.
Anyhow, at one yard that I know sells radios cheap I asked if they had a factory CD Changer. Woo-Hoo!! They had one out of a 99 STS with mounting bracket and cartridge for $75!!!!!!
So now I just need a cable (brother sells these so I'll get one for cheap) and a Monsoon CD deck since a standard AM/FM/CD/7EQ deck can't control CD changers, but the Monsoon CD decks can.

The Monsoon CD deck can? i was under the impression that the CD decks could only control the remote tape plater and the Cassettes could only control the CD players. Let me know if you need a 7-band Cassette. I got a couple.

Basicly, I'd keep my 12 favorite CD'* in the changer and I could flip any others into the CD deck.

After looking around, I found some more information on it:

So you can use a 99+ Monsoon unit and it should work.

He checked his stock and at the moment he doesn't have any 99+ GM decks, but he'* getting 15 radios in this week so he'll test any with the newer build dates.
I'll let you all know how this turns out.
BTW, the AM/FM/CD/7-band EQ deck I have in my car right now I bought two weeks ago out of a 97 Trans Am at a yard -for dirt cheap.
