Question How Do I Change Discs?!

I know this sounds like a dumb question, but I have a '98 with Tape HU and 12 CD Changer. I just bought a CD HU from an '02 Camaro, but I can't figure out how to tell it what disc I want it to play. On my tape HU, I just hit the "2" button to change discs, but the "2" button on the CD HU is "Random" and it just randomly picks a CD to play in the changer. The "1" and "3" buttons make the tracks on the disc go up or down and the "4" and "6" buttons will FF or REV in the tracks, but I can't find a way to make it go the disc that I want and I don't feel like keep hitting the "RDM" button until it happens to find the disc I want at random.

Am I missing something? I don't have steering wheel controls since I have a '98, but there's gotta be a way to change discs with buttons from the HU. My manual's no help since CD HU's and 12 disc changers weren't an option in '98.

What's the secret guys?

On the Firebird CD head units, the 4 button changes to the next disc when the CD changer is active. Sorry, I don't have a Camaro owner's manual.

On my 2002 CD Monsoon HU with changer I press the 5 button to change disc.

Thanks! I ordered mine from a salvage yard and have discovered that the "5" button can be a little tricky to press. They're sending me another one, so hopefully it'll work like it's supposed to.
