I think what Jamie is saying is that the in-dash WITH a CD player will not have the controls integrated for the truck CD changer.
 
wow, glad I didn't swap a few months ago, I didn't know you couldn't control the CD changer with the CD radio, I almost bought one
 
Just get yourself an MP3 player and cassette adapter to play it through the factory system.
 
Edit: You guys are correct. I was wrong. For some reason, I thought it would control the trunk cd changer also. I guess I'll have to find a cassette head unit with cd controls. I don't like single cd players.

If what you want is a cassette player that controls the trunk mounted changer, look for the factory unit that says "CD" just to the right of the cassette loading hole. They are common and easy to find.
