any idea if the following model (cd changer) will fit on a 2001 c240:

A 002 820 7989
model no. MC3198


how about an alpine cd changer?

thanks.

 

alpine will fit if it uses Ai-Net

[s]

 

would that be a plug in, or would it work through the radio???

thanks again.

 

I don't think so.

 

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.

 

i will recheck it with my alpine dealer for you tomorrow

 

if this is true....

 

sorry i was in a rush, i did not have the time to get to the alpine dealer. please be patient
