i recently placed a used factory 6 cd changer in a 97 528 thabt never had a cd changer before but had the correct wire harnesses for it in the trunk. i now get a cd error code when i try to use it, but the cd changer works ie power to it and it ejects the cd cartridge. how do i program the radio to recognize the cd changer is there

thanks

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.
