Question 01 c320 cd changer installation

Does anyone have information regarding the installation of cd changer on a 01 c320. It is different from the 02 model becasue it requires an additional fiber optic cable which I can't figure out how to hook it up.

2001-2004 is the same. What part can't you figure out? If you have a C320 then you likely have Bose. You have to run a fiber loop from your radio to Bose to the CD changer. I don't know exactly how it goes because my car didn't have Bose but that's the general ideal. Search the forum, there's instructions on here somewhere.

Your are right. I have a Bose system. 01 model is different because all 02 & up model is pre-wired which mean that it is a plug and play changer. I can't locate the 3 pin power wire behind the radio, and an extra fiber optic wire is needed in order to finish up the installation. I have no idea how to loop the optic cable when there is only one plug at the back of the radio. I am still looking for the solution. Thanks anyway.
