Need some help...

I replaced the head unit on my 95 W124.... Problem,radio is working,but when i switch to cd i dont get any sound,cd is spinning inside song play time is running but no sound. I dont think its my head unit,my friend told me it might be amp problem(if there is one?) or some way how to connect wires. Anyone have any idea whats going on???? Thanks!

How could it be the amp, it is the same anyway for the radio and the CD (changer)? Perhaps just a loose wire, I assume this is a changer in the trunk with analog interface to the headunit.

OK, it isn't any MB OEM setup, you actually wrote you changed the HU, I did not realise it was changed to something not OEM.

An after market setup could be anything.
