I want to add the 6 changer in the glove box.

I see 2 Fiber Optic CD Changers
A002 820 7989 / MC3198 (what is FS $ 100 locally)
A203 820 9089 / MC3010 (what I should get)

Do they swap for say my 2002 C230K Cpe with basic cassette?

I have been all over this site, C class and audio with many search word attempts and other internet web searches... I am not convinced that they do swap, plug & play..

05 model year on use a MOST style CD changer. Pre face lift cars use a D2B style. They have a diiferent 12V wake-up and fiber optic cable plugs. Not sure which is which part number wise.

A203 820 9089 / MC3010 is for 2002-2004. This is the one you want if your car is 2002.

A002 820 7989 / MC3198 I am 80% sure is for 2005-2007.

Just changed my head unit to a double din TV DVD pioneer and it kinda suck to have the CD changer in the glove box but unable to use it .

Will a pioneer CD changer fit the box? Or is the basic changer detacheable?

Per the seller the A 002 820 7989 MC3198 Came out of his own 1999 CLK 320 and 2002 SLK 230 when he had swapped it through them through the years.

EDIT: correct me if I am wrong please.
Here's my summary paste & stuck details off many various threads:

As I search: "Has anyone tried to use the A002 820 7989 / MC3198 instead of the
A203 820 9089 / MC3010, & is it the same easy plug & play?"
Still out to lunch if my car is pre wired with fiber optic cable or not.
I've read North American cars did come pre wired...
But I am almost convinced my era car does not need to be dealer coded.

Anyhow I see 2 Fiber Optic CD Changers with very similar model years usage, but are different models.
A002 820 7989 is MC 3198 - a little larger than the other
A203 820 9089 is MC3010 - a scootch smaller, side-to-side (about 1/4")
and I think someone reported it as having better anti-skip resistance.
Thus changer often found in glove box.
