you'll need adapter for the apine cd changer(may not work properly). although MB and BMW's cd changer IS made by Alpine.

i talked to the local alpine dealer and he said, that the changer will fit to the w203
also they have a convert box which enables their HUs to connect to the steering wheel control

Yes there is a box which will connect an Alpine unit to the steering wheel buttons. But, I have never heard of an AI-Net Alpine changer being connected to a stock MB head unit. The MB headunit is not AI-Net. It uses D2B. If it can be done, please let us know how to do it. Many of us would love to know how it is done.
