If we are talking about the C36 here then the problem is that your DIN-C connector has been corrupted in some way and is no longer in the correct arrangement.

There are 3 bulky connectors on the back of the radio. Make sure all 3 are plugged in.

Any mercedes technician can tell you if the cables to the CD player have been cut, since the #C connector deals out the power to the player.

If you have power and no sound, should still be the same deal.

I presume that your CD changer is in the trunk, so you might need two people to test it.
