CD changer magazines
Does anybody know if the CD-changer magazines in the '01-'02 C-class are the same as the magazines in the '99-'00 C-class (and all other '99-'02 M-B models).
I know the CD changers are different, but are the magazines the same?

I'm 99% sure that they are. The CD changer for1998 cars and up are Beckers and before that, they are Alpines. You should be able to by a Becker magazine at your local car audio shop and save some money.

Actually, the '99-'02 CD changers are all made by Alpine (except for the '01-'02 C-class, which I'm not sure). I bought extra magazines for the factory changers in my '99 SLK and my '02 SLK from Circuit City. They were 2-packs for $30, Alpine part number KAE-216C. I just want to find out if these will also fit the changers in the '01-'02 C-class.
It might be that the '01-'02 C-class changers are made by Becker, in which case the Alpine magazines probably won't fit.

Opps guess that's right, sorry for posting the wrong information. Thanks for posting the correct info Brian.
I know for sure that Becker is making the C230s changers.

So, I'd say it's an alpine manufacture. If I'm not mistaken, Becker does make a compatible changer, but the MB branded and MB installed changer is sourced from Alpine.
