Back to the Audio10 in-dash cd player...

Does anyone have the Mercedes Benz Audio10 In-Dash cd player? Most likely the guys from Europe have them. I was wondering if they played CD-R's? And on eBay I saw them REPROGRAMMED. So us, North Americans, could tune in the AM stations, like our regular radios. I wish I bought the radio when I had the chance but, I passed it up.

If you guys really want one, ask MBenzNL(steve). I asked him about getting one a while back and he said he had a few. I'm sure he could get you one if he doesn't have any on hand.

$250 shipped to your door including radio installation keys.

However, note that you need to replace an Audio 10 cassette (1999 model or later) with the Audio 10 CD, otherwise you may have CANBUS issues and the non-fibre optic CD changer will not function.

That sucks, I really wanted to have an in dash too. Oh well, sucks to own an older one sometimes.

Might work, might not work... certainly won't work with the phone, CD changer, or anything fiber optic, because your car doesn't have it. So we didn't check to see if the CANBUS support is there.

Install takes under 10 minutes if you are inexperienced... maybe 3 minutes if you know what you're doing! Can't get much easier than that.
