6 disc changer stereo

[trail humper]

I know there has been several posts on this topic and some confusion. I upgraded to the 6 disc stereo to replace may base radio. Installation took about five minutes. My dealer reprogramed the radio and it works fine, no problem with sound levels being cut in half.They charged me 19 dollars to do it. Lynch Hummer, Chesterfield, Mo.

Can anyone tell me if the 6-disc changer can play MP3 CD's also?

If there is a set day and time that you know you will be in the chatroom just let me know. You can either post it here or email me. Talk to you soon.

H3Eric, you should be fine. I added the 6 disc premium radio from the standard radio and the volume is fine.

[Greg\'s H3]

I did the same thing have monsoon with single cd, bought 6 disc radio on e-bay.My first question how did you remove the cover plate so you could remove the radio,any special tools required?
Thanks

This is very strange as all other posts here about the change talked about the unlocking of the radio by using a tech-2 at the dealership. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thats a negative. There is an optional $700 single disk cd/mp3 deck you can order from the factory, but you would be better off spending the money on a good aftermarket deck.

[501]

Will changing out the factory stereo affect other functions, such as Onstar, door/warning chimes, etc....? That is the reason I never switched out my factory 6-disc changer in my Avalanche, because I would lose everything else.

from the two threads i think low volume was 6 disc no amp if you have monsoon you already have the amp so you will be thumpinnnn !!!!

[Mike E]

Good Deal. I did the same thing last week and my dealer charged me $50.

[Mike E]

Stick your fingers in the two accessory ports at the bottom lower right and pull up and out. The panel will pop off.

[H3Eric]

I will do it as well. Earlier posts indicated that the volume level would be cut in half. I have the moonsoon system, I'm not sure if there is a 6 disc without moonsoon

[H3Eric]

I meant I bought the 6 disc stereo that was part of the moonsoon system via Ebay. In my H3 I have the base stereo. Anyway I will just try it.

Thanks,
Eric

H3Eric, I was concerned too, but my H3 just had the base radio without the monsoon speakers, and the 6 disc works great, no volume loss, I think it is even louder with cd's over the am/fm.

[trail humper]

the same here, maybe will catch you in the chat room soon.<BLOCKQUOTE class="ip-ubbcode-quote"><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-title">quote:</div><div class="ip-ubbcode-quote-content">Originally posted by MrsRobinsn2000:

Na, just cram your fingers in the sockets. It'll be fine.

--yes, disconnect the battery.

[First Hummer]

disconnect the battery first before you do anything.

And move the shifter into 1st/2nd before you disconnect the battery. It will make things a lot easier.
