#9 of 778 Dura - CD Changer harness by night_owl1 Mar 03, 2001 (8:59 am)
Dura, how do you know that plug is for the CD changer? I have been wondering what that plug is for and I hope you have the answer.   I also have the radio/tape/cd setup and wanted to add in a CD changer. I didn't want to go to the FM modulator route. I like my steering wheel controls too much. =)   I am away from home at the moment in Texas and have been calling around looking for a connector that will fit the amp harness. Hopefully I can find one so we can replace the factory amp with something better.

I do not know for certain that it is for a CD changer but if not what else would it be for? Tail and Brake lights for a trailer hitch - not likely. Power antenna? Too many wires.   My plug appears to have 7 wires running into it. That would seem about right for a changer. power(1) controls(2) and L & R audio out(4). NOTE: THIS IS A GUESS.
#11 of 778 Duraflex RE Wires by 00impala Mar 03, 2001 (4:53 pm)
If you go to the Kelly Blue Book Site and look under 2000 or 2001 Impala, The list of Options reads that the $80.00 Option Harness for the CD Changer is "Only" Available with the UL0 Radio, AM/FM Cassette only, Not Available with the Cassette and CD Upgraded Stereo with the AMP... Why I do not know? Where exactly are these wires so I can look for them myself in my LS? Thanks Don
#12 of 778 Don re Trunk wires by duraflex Mar 04, 2001 (6:53 am)
There is a multi-pin connector with about 7 wires hanging high in the trunk just behind and above the right rear wheel well, in back of the trunk liner.   As I wrote in post # 10, my best GUESS is that it's for a CD changer.
#13 of 778 CD Connector? Duraflex by platour Mar 06, 2001 (4:03 pm)
Is the black connector in the middle what you are referring to? If yes, I do not know what it is for but thought that a pic (unfocussed) would at least locate it.
#14 of 778 platour by duraflex Mar 07, 2001 (6:01 am)
Yes- that wide thin black connector is what I'm referring to. Does yours also have 7 wires going into it? What's your best guess?
#15 of 778 Duraflex by platour Mar 07, 2001 (3:52 pm)
Yes, seven wires. I do not know what it is but someone must have a shop manual and can tell us from a wiring diagram. It seems somewhat distant from the amp but perhaps the CD player is located at that right-side area. Hopefully, someone with a CD trunk unit can post a pic for us.

I have the helm manual and looked up the connector you show in your picture, duraflex. You are right, it is the right one. It's a 10-pin connector with 7 slots populated. Looking at the end of the plug with the six slots on the left you have:   (Far left) pin 10 Gray wire Audio Class 2 Serial Data. (moving right) pin 9 and 8 unused. Pin 7 black wire ground. Pin 6 not used. Pin 5 orange Battery positive. (break) Pin 4 bare drain wire. Pin 3 Lt Blue Remote playback device audio common signal. Pin 2 lt green remote playback device right audio signal. Pin 1 orange/black remote playback device left audio signal.   Hope that helps.
#17 of 778 Incorrect credits by mediumfry Mar 09, 2001 (6:43 pm)
Sorry Platour. I wrongly gave Duraflex credit for the photo. First one I didn't proofread and I botched it. I did find the connector in my car too, and it is the one I just described in post 16. Thank you for posting the photo - that helps a ton.   Duraflex are you a gasket guy?
#18 of 778 medium fry by duraflex Mar 10, 2001 (6:20 am)
I'm the poster who first speculated that the CD harness was already in there (posts7-10-12). Thanks for posting the wiring info.   FYI: You can revise (EDIT) anything you write here within 30 minutes of posting it.          Number 17 was in that window of opportunity.   What is a "helm manual"?
