The radio is working fine like that? The reason I ask is that it doesn't seem to be the changer harness that's hacked...the changer haness is the one on the middle. Is it a CD radio or a tape radio? Only the CD radios from '00-'02 could control the changer, so what's the manufacture date on the radio if it's CD? ALL '97-'02 tape decks can control the changer.

yeah thats correct , i'm so confused also didn't find any threads about this problem , I'm sure its a wiring issue because i installed my radio and cd changer in my friends car and both of them works great

This calls for old fashioned diagnostic work. Get a multimeter and start checking for continuity in the wires of the changer harness between the changer and the head unit. Check for power and ground as well because those two connections are at the changer but don't go to the head unit. The pinout for the changer connector is in the Monsoon FAQ sticky.

C1 - Black 10-pin connector
1 - GRAY - left front speaker negative
2 - TAN - left front speaker positive
3 - DARK GREEN - right front speaker negative
4 - LIGHT GREEN - right front speaker positive
5 - BLACK - ground
6 - BROWN - parking light input (lets the radio know when headlights are on so it will dim the display)
7 - GRAY - dash light dimmer input (controls brightness of radio control illumination)
8 - PINK - (Firebird) power antenna output
9 - YELLOW - ignition controlled power
10 - ORANGE - battery power (for radio memory)
thanks.
