I have a '95 C280 with the stock head unit. It does have the built in CD controls. And, I have an older Alpine CD changer that I took out of another car that I sold.

Does anybody know if an older Alpine CD changer will work - it does have the DIN plugs and connector just like the new ones.

I'd love to add the changer for the cost of just a $30 adapter. If I have to buy a new changer, it'll have to wait.

Do you know the model #?

A non-fiberoptic alpine changer will work..I have one in my 94 C280..actually, I'm selling it cause it won't work with my Comand. Interested? I also have the adapter.

The Alpine model is a 5951Z.

This is the adapter that I bought for my Alpine changer:

I don't know if there is a quality difference, but I was looking at this one:

$70 vs. $20 otherwise isn't a tough choice for me...

The model # on mine is CHM-S600. I don't know if yours will work. Do you know how old it is? There should be a date on the back of it.

The $20 one works with older Alpine changers on some stock head units. Newer head units and newer changer require the more expensive adapter.
