Audio 10 Cd player question

I am bidding (and currently winning) this radio:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MEBI%3AIT&rd=1

My question is, will this work on my 1999 C43? I will sell it on Ebay if it doesn't, but I would love to get your opinions... The seller has a note below, that made me worry a little bit. I missed that part .

Any comments?


OK HERE GOES I PLUGGED IN TO MY W208 CLK TO SEE IF IT WORKS IT WORKS FINE THEN AFTER A COUPLE OF MINS OF PLAYING A CD IT COME UP (P.R.O.D) ON THE DISPLAY I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS BECAUSE ITS NOT FOR THIS MODEL MERCEDES SO I AM SELLING THIS ITEM WITH NO RETURN ANY QUESTIONS EMAIL ME AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO HELP CHEERS


Thank you very much

I woudl stay away from it. Sounds like it has an issue and has been installed in at least two cars. Youc an always count on someone before you messing up the install and or wiring.

Thank you man!

I emailed the ******* 3 times, no reponses, and I ended up winning the bid, now i will do everything I can to get out of it. I could only cancel the bid 24hrs before the end. It was too late. I have a damn good EBAY feedback score. I will not let anyone ruin it...

This unit derives its code from the CAN bus. I don't know enough about C43s and/or W208s. But that could be the reason the seller specified W203 and W209. Therefore if the seller leaves you bad feedback I can't blame him since you didn't heed the advise in the ad and/or STFF'd a MB forum prior to bidding. Even if you decided to take the unit it would need modification to fit.

it is possible that the deck, being euro issue, will have different frequency
steps vs those here in the USA. yes, since it's a W203 unit, it wont exactly
match the rest of your stack. yeah, you dropped the ball on this so you may
want to own up and perhaps just pay the guy $20+- to offset his fees and
not give you a thumbs down feedback

I got out of the deal just fine. I paid few bucks for his EBAY listing fees. Done!

Thank you for your inputs gentlemen!

Update on Audio 10 In-dash Cd player/changer

I just received this MB Audio 10 Cd player from Ebay. Super easy plug and play operation! Radio sounds AWESOME, CDs sound very crisp! I'd recommend it.

(I got 1999 c43) replaced the original radio with another matching MB radio-in-dash cd player

Call your dealer he might has an old one which he doesn't need anymore. Don't buy one I might have one at home for the Audio 10, if so I can give you mine!

Thank you sir! I don't trust the dealer tho! I guarantee you they'll charge me something other than shipping.....

Let me know if you have it, I'd rather pay you few bucks.

Thank you again!

Hey Teck! I found a Quick Guide for the radio, I am ok for now I guess. But if you dig it up in your house or something, I might still buy it from you, or pay for shipping at least. Thank you for your good intentions..

You guys should check the write speed of your cd burner. The stock stereo on my audi wouldn't play them cause the write speed was so fast. I was pissed for the longest time. Go to settings or options in whatever program you use to burn cd's, and set to lowest speed possible.

Yesterday I played about 4 burned cds, perfectly fine! Today tho, 1 burned cd did not work. Maybe it is a software issue?

I can't be more happier about this cd player, it brought the BOSE out. I have a perfect sound system for my ears now... I highly recommend this $250 upgrade for those who don't have it. Since it is Mercedes Becker, it fits perfect too.

Off topic! I need a DVD burning program

I have been using "DVD FAb" burning dvds, it is not burning anymore. I know there are some guys in here that know about computers, can you recommend any programs to make DVD copies?


Thank you
