Factory Installed CD Changer vs. Integrated 6 Disk CD Changer
I have the "Factory Installed CD Changer" on order right now, but I just took a look on MBUSA and they have added the "Integrated 6 Disk CD Changer" aswell as a "Glovebox-Mounted 6-disk CD Changer." So now there are three options as far as the CD changers go, the "Factory Installed CD Changer," "Glovebox-Mounted 6-disk CD Changer," "and the Integrated 6 Disk CD Changer."
The Integrated and Factory installed changers both cost $400, whilst the Glovebox-Mounted 6-disk CD Changer costs $750. Also, there is no "details" button below the "Integrated 6 Disk CD Changer" on MBUSA. I just called up MBUSA customer service and they told me that if the information about it is not on the website, then they do not know what it is.
Whats the difference?

My dealer says they are the same, but my dealer has been wrong numerous times in the past. My car has not been built yet, so I can still change the order. I don't want to end up with item A and then later on find out item B was better.

what is the real meaning of the factory installed CD changer?
if the glove-box mounted or the integrated CD changer is installed at the factory, shouldn't it be called a factory installed CD changer??

I assume the other two are dealer installed options, not sure.

There is no diffrence. The 750 charge is for the CD changer to be installed at the dealer that figure does not include labor.The 203 only has one changer and it mounts in the glove box.

So then what is the difference between the two CD changers for 400 dollars? When you choose one on the website, the other is blocked out.

So if the "Integrated 6-disk CD Changer" was discontinued, why is it still on the website?
