Mercedes Player MP40 problem.
Hi.
I recently bought the MP40 from Germany, and innstalled it according to the instructions. But my Audio 10CD won't activate it... The display reads "NO CDC" when cdc-button is pressed. Since I already have an integrated telephone, I bought the xtra fibre to expand the D2B. So the bus now goes from Audio10 ->Telephone (in trunk) ->MP40 ->Audio10.
The +12V and Wake-up is tested to ground, reading 12,4-12,8 Volts each.
Furthermore, when I disconnect the D2B connector from my MP40, the red fibre flashes a second when ignition is turned on and off. So the D2B seems ok.
The funny (or annoying...) thing is that it worked ONE time... My E200 stood still for a couple of days, and the next time I fired it up, I pressed the CDC-button just to check, and it played loud and clear!!! After 10-15min I stopped the car for 10 min, fired it up again, but now the MP40 was dead again...
As far as I can see, I need to get a hold of an Audio 10 maybe... To exchange it with my original for testing.
Any other tip on how I continue with fault location? I think I've covered it all, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks! :-)

Any progress
I suffer from the same problem.
Connected the Mp40 to my APS30, checked
It played for 20s. It has been dead eversince.
The supplier did not have any answers. So I shipped it back for a check.
Did you already solve it?

Yups, I've solved it! :-D
Simply by bypassing the freakkin' telephone... I never use it anyway.
Just thought it would be nice to have it connected and working since it's already there. :-)
So now I only have D2B between my Audio10 & MP40.
I don't have any good answer to your problem... Have you checked the D2B from your APS? The red fibre should flash 3-4 times when you're turning on & off ignition. Other than that, it's worth checking 12V & wake-up on the 3-pin power connector.
Hope you get it right sometime soon. :-)

I already tried what you did (disconnect the phone), but that didn't work either.
Actually I still use the phone, even got me an old nokia to fit the cradle. Works perfect.
I did check power cords and saw the fibre optics blink.
So I think I have to wait to get an answer from Germany telling me the unit I got was defect and that he will send me a new one.
Thanks for the reply.

Ok, I figured that you'd already tried my suggestions. :-)
But if all is ok with the D2B & Wake-up, the problem is most likely with the player, I would think.
Anyway, I'm very satisfied with the product, it plays very nice, and your whole music collection is in that tiny little box. Nice!
And again, hope you get it right soon.
