9 monsoon and 12 disc changer = no work :(
9 monsoon and 12 disc changer = no work :( since day one the previous owners never could get it to work, i think i read somewhere, that this was an issue with the 98 monsoon stereos. any of u know about this? and perhaps know the fix?

Hey I have a question as well I just purchased a monsoon cassette player to go along with my disc changer but havent installed it yet i needed to know if it was fairly simply to remove the old tape deck and install the new one. Does the front just pop off or do you need to un bolt

There has been no particular problem with these systems not working (although they're not particularly well built and tend to fail over time). What you probably heard about was what dontshakepandas mentioned - the CD changers wouldn't work with 98 CD head units.

What exactly are the symptoms? Does the changer load discs when you insert the magazine? If not, you may not have power there. Are you testing with store-bought CDs? It won't read CD-RWs and sometimes has trouble with CD-Rs (also it can't play MP3 tracks). Does the head unit recognize that there is a changer attached (does it try to switch to it)? When you switch to the changer can you hear any activity (switching discs, etc.)? Anything else you've noticed that might help diagnose the problem?
