There is no procedure to program the radio. I suspect you have a defective CD changer, not unheard-of.
Have you tried using a commercial CD? Some of the early changers would not play home-burned CDs. _________________

I bought an Alpine CD changer for my 1999 and worked out of the box. If the changer is defective, you can at least use the mounting brackets from that unit, which are a dealer only item. _________________
