Did you put the discs in the changer the correct way? They go in the factory changer upside-down (label on the bottom).

No, the only other changer that will work with the factory head unit is called a NeoChanger and it's actually worse than the factory one. But don't buy one from your dealer - there's usually one for sale here in the For Sale forum or you can find them on eBay.
