how does one remove it? :P

RW C55

look to the right of the bracket u'll see a screw up there, remove the screw then u'll be able to take the whole thing out. To take the CD changer off the bracket u need to take off more screws and unplug everything at the back.

thank you sir

I am trying to remove my cd changer out the glove box. I removed the screw holding the bracket up. However I can only get one of those wires out the back (the big one). I cant seem to pull the small wire out. Is there a certain way I am suppose to pull it out or is there something special I need to do to get it out?

I would also like to know. I want to take mine out also.

Weight reduction?

Once you remove the cd changer how do you get the radio to continue to work correctly? I disconnected mine but when I did the radio stopped working.

MBfinatic

Im gonna try and see if my radio still works.

The fiber-optic cable must be connected on the back of the cd changer. Without that, you won't hear audio.

JUAN CASAUS

Ok so how can I disconnect my cd changer and still keep audio?

pcy

I would think if the CD changer is disabled via STAR, you will get the audio.

why are people removing their CD changers? my car didn't come with one, just a single CD insert

MBfinatic

lol sorry Petar. Well you already have minor weight reduction.

C230 Mulac

yeah my car weighs 1 lb less than all you b*tches! WHOOOOOOHOOOO!

I don't know the whole answer to this question. By unplugging the CD changer you are breaking the d2B or MOST ring. You either have to patch it with Star or reloop the fibre optic connections.

+1 Glyn as usual got it. If you don't have a bose or HK stereo the normal head unit functions such as fm will work fine but if you have xm or something else on the most/d2b ring like an ipod you will be out of luck till you fix the break. You might get away with no coding but who knows till you try.

As for wait reductions usually the cheapest and best weight reduction ever is removing excess fat from the driver. I love it when i see a race car driver or someone doing weight reductions who weighs 150 pounds more then he/she should lol

JUAN CASAUS

Not even my radio works without the cd changer. There is no sound at all.

samaritrey

no **** the c32 has a Bose stereo

If Im already on a 3rd party headunit, will my radio still stop working too if I remove the cd changer too? I have no use for it now so I can use the extra space..

samaritrey

you will be fine since you are hardwired into the speakers vs using the fiber.

JUAN CASAUS

I misread your post. So how can I fix the "break"?

Silver C

Thanks Trey, good to know that I don't have to fiddle with the wires again.. I hate fiddling with wires..

C230 Mulac

on top of that i can't help bursting out laughing when i see a 350 pound guy in a little 2 dr mazda miata or some sh*t

C230 Mulac

+1 wires are the absolute worst! that's why i chose structural engineering over electrical engineering for college

Mercedes sells the parts to connect the ends back together. You will take the connector apart that went to the cd changer and plug them together not hard but the part might be fun to get. Just go tell the parts department what you are doing and they should find the part. GL
