Newbie question: Aftermarket CD or Changer

Hi folks. I just bought a c320 for my parents. Nice car, but I found annoying that it doesn't come with a cd player. Dude, subcompact rental cars come with one these days..

Anyway, can someone tell me what are my options? Any aftermarket headunits or CD changers. Is it direct plug in, or is there something funky with M-B's....

Thanks in advance.

I have a question. Do you need any "new" relatives ?

Get the Audio 10 indash CD-player. Some member forums have bought them at Ebay and done the install themselves. My impression is that it's not that hard to install.

Do a forum search for "indash"

Thanks everyone. I'll look into it.

Still trying to get over the fact that a car close to $40k car doesn't come with a CD player.

My A4 was 26.5, and came with a cd player, and it was only $150 for a 8 disc changer that I was able to install in 10 minutes without removing the headunit....

Oh well, dig the styling of the C sedans.
