2003 C320 Coupe
Smile C320 and Newbie

Hi All,

New to the list and have a question! My disc changer is giving me fits. My head unit doesn't recognize that it exists. It was intermittent and now appears that the connection is lost....

Is there a way to reset it or is it toast????

Thanks! -Phil

Would really like some input on this. Car is a 2003 Coupe. Thanks in advance. "No CD Changer" is the message on the head unit.....

This has been discussed in a couple of threads before... I think the method was to take the CD changer out. With it out, go to the CD input. Let it register no CD Changer. Then put it back in with a CD in it, and let it try to read that. Also make sure you are using a store-bought CD, and not a burned one.

I'm not sure on this, so you might want to give the forum a search for the thread this was discussed in.

Check the fiber connections (the orange lines connecting the radio to the CD changer), maybe one jiggled loose?

Either that, or you have a crappy changer. These things are known to die, especially the models made in China. If this is the case, find the MC3010 (A### ### 90 89) built in Hungary. Good luck.
