Cd changer delay on start

I have a non-MM 6 disc changer.
Every time I start the car after its been sitting for more than an hour or so (i.e. every morning), the cd changer goes though a “loading disc” cycle that takes about 40 seconds before the music starts playing.

Is this normal? Could someone with a non-MM and a 6 disc changer check if they also have this problem?

Yeah its normal for all cd changers in general. It scans all the slots to see if you added or changed discs.

I don't know about our W204, but I do know that my W221 does not do this. I can go from CD to SAT to Radio and back to CD and it resumes the music right where it left off. Also, on the W204 , you can't enter Nav data while the car is in motion yet I can on my W221. This is extremely annoying!!!! A software upgrade hopefully will allow for this. I don't understand why the two cars are so different yet made by the same company.

From start if I left off listening to one of the CDs in 6 disc, it takes aprox 20-30 seconds before it starts up.
