If you have a CD head unit in the 99 Camaro then it probably isn't compatible with a CD changer - which means it isn't compatible with the adapter either. CD head units didn't get changer capability until late in the 99 model year so yours is probably an early model. The only way to tell for sure is to open up the head unit and look at the code stamped on the CD drive circuit board.

Well, a 2000 unit will work as well but the 01-02 had another advantage - they could handle more than one external device. So you could install a GM9-AUX adapter and have both satellite radio plus a factory 12-disc changer (on the 00 model it was only one or the other).

You can usually find Monsoon head units for sale in the parts for sale section here for under $100 so it's not particularly expensive to upgrade.

Yes, you can.

All Monsoon systems came with the CD changer harness installed regardless of whether a changer was installed. That's the harness you see plugged into the back of the head unit.
