I have a 00 SS and i want a new radio. It will be the same radio unti but with a CD instead of a tape player. I am looking to buy a new one but its from a 97 will i have any problems with the install since the difference in years?

The 1997 CD headunit won't be able to control the factory CD Changer.

I have the one with the tape and i am getting the stock one but with a CD player

I know. I read that in your post. You asked for possible issues and I stated one. Also, since it can't control the stock CD Changer, it won't work with the PIE GM9-AUX adapter either. If you don't have the stock CD Changer or the PIE GM9-AUX, then it should work fine. I don't completely remember though. Maybe someone else (WhiteBird00?) will chime in and validate.

I have a 12 Disc changer in the trunk.. but i dont like it.. great player just in the back haha... So i will just have to see how it works i just want to make sure they are compatible and if i need some new adapters i can get them

As VIP1 said, the head unit from 97 is physically compatible - it will mount and plug right in. However, you won't be able to use your existing CD changer with it because CD head units couldn't control a changer until late in the 99 model year. Also, because it can't control a CD changer, it also won't work with any of the auxiliary input adapters on the market in case you decide you want to add satellite radio or an MP3 player.

Ok.. I plan to get rid of the 12 disc changer in the back.

What is your question? We've already answered that the 97 head unit will fit except that it won't be compatible with your existing CD changer.

Which is totally fine... i dont plan on keeping the old CD changer. Question would be will i need to get any new wiring or cables

Yes, it will mount and plug right in (refer to post #6 above). No other wiring or adapters are necessary.
