Stereo & Electronics - Monsoon CD

I was wondering if n e body has had n e trouble with there monsoon c d players or if anybody nows a after market brand that will work with steering wheel controls

i been having trouble with mine. im tryin to keep the ineterior as stock as i can. i have the 12 disc cd changer and mine just reads err everytime i put a cd in. there is a way to go and mess with it with a tech 2 but i havent tried. when i go to work tomorrow ill try it and see what exactly i can do. if i find a way to fix it then ill hit you back and let you know what i had to do to mine to get it to work. cya, miles

thats what mine does and i've disconected it reset it and cleaned it with blower and now it tries to read it but still says err

thats what mine does. i had another camaro that came in and i wanted to take his and give him mine hahaha jk. ill take my apart as well. but i do think there is a way to actually program the monsoon stereos through tech 2, i think.

yeah that would b nice instead of buying another head unit and acc. to use the sterring wheel control that gets kinda expensive

Replacing just the headunit is easy... its in the FAQ too:

You need:
* Mounting Kit
* Wiring Harness
* Steering Wheel Control Adapter

If your headunit has wired remote input, you can use a PAC SWI-?. (The ? is to denote the manufacturer-specific unit. Example: PAC SWI-PS works with Pioneer and Sony.)

If your headunit does not have a wired remote input but it does have and IR remote, then you can use the PAC SWI-X. Its the universal IR steering wheel adapter.

The Monsoon headunit is a regular gm headunit that provides speaker-level outputs to the Monsoon amp. You can replace it with any aftermarket headunit that has an internal amp (almost all do).

Read the FAQ and do some searching for more specifics.

Soundgate makes a nice interface called REMOTE3

I have a kenwood 10-disc cd player that I bolted in the trunk for sale. $50 and that includes shipping. It worked fine with the steering wheel controls.

PAC just came out with another wiring kit. Its called PAC SWI-JACK:

My CD player doesn't play past the 3rd or 4th track. I don't care though, since Satellite Radio is way better for me. And I always have an iPod and FM transmitter if I want to listen to my music.

I have the Monsoon head unit and 12 disc changer. Both work flawlessly. I am going on leave and will be driving through OK on 27 June if you want to buy it. I can let them both go for $100. I'll be on I-35 and I can meet you anywhere within reason near the interstate.
The changer was removed years ago by the origional owner and stored in a box. He reinstalled it when I bought the car to ensure that it works. I removed the head unit shortly after I purchased the car a year ago.
PM me and we can set something up.

I also have the monsoon amp, wiring harness and some speakers left over from the factory system.
