Check to make sure you don't have a CD upside down or an unreadable CD in the tray. (I don't remember for sure, but that either causes an E30 or an E80 error for me.)

There's an amazing amount of information in the Monsoon FAQ sticky...

Correction: Try cleaning the disc or using a new disc. Make sure the disc is loaded correctly (label side down). The road could be too rough or there is too much humidity. If there is still an error, service the unit at an ACDelco® Service Center.

Can you add the 12 disc changer to a stock monsoon unit?

Yes, you can add the changer to any model year with a cassette head unit or to 2000 and newer models with the single CD head unit. The CD head unit didn't support the external changer until late in the 99 model year.

You will find the harness is already installed in the car even though it didn't come with a changer from the factory. The end of the changer harness is wrapped in foam and taped to the speaker harness under the left hatch trim panel.
