2002 CLK430 audio help

I just traded my 99 in for a 2002 and the car has no cd changer and an "audio 10" head unit that will not play burned cds. I need my radio to be able to play burned cds, damnit. My questions are this:

Is there anyway to make it play a burned cd?

and if not:

Are all 2002 clk's wired with the fiber optic cd changer wire? I don't see one in the trunk but if its behind the panel then I will get it out to install a cd changer. I just don't want to rip the trunk apart if there is no wire behind the rug.

I appreciate any help you can give, thanks.

LC430 -
Thought: have someone else burn wma tunes onto CD and try it on your
Audio 10. just want you to eliminate one possibity of root cause. it may
be your burner/settings. I noted that you did not complain about commercially
recorded CDs so presume that those work properly.

yea i will try this. i used to work at a used car dealer with lots of mercedes and we never saw these radios so i know they are rare. anyone else who is here have one? if so do you get burned cds to ever play in it? LMK....
