I wish to replace original cd-changer in my Mercedes-Benz W203 C230K 2004 (05MY) (WDBRF40J45A671032) with audio20 and standard CD-Changer 6 discs.
What original MP3-changer can installed in my car?
I have A2118705390 and A211 870 38 89 from W211
A2118705390 or A211 870 38 89 Will approach?
Thanks

I remove original 6cd cd-changer and connect 6cd mp3-changer A211 870 38 89. MP3-Changer work all right

Wow, So you're saying you hooked up at cd changer from an updated w211 that can read mp3s and it worked?!

NoIZz

exactly!
Connection is identical

^ I'm guessing this does NOT work for pre-facelift W203s, even with a harness change?

It works only on w203, with Audio 20CD (may be with Command) and MOST (optical bus).

Turn the ignition on
Turn on Audio 20
Unload all the disks from the CD-Changer
Turn off Audio 20
Turn the ignition off
Wait 2-3 minutes
Disconnect the battery

For correct installation on place in the glovebox, you have to cut a square hole (50x50mm) in the back wall of the glovebox in a place where the wiring comes out from mp3-changer

Hi,

From these projects...does anyone have a WORKING MY2005+ CDC they want to get rid of?

Thanks,
