What am I doing wrong..

My cd changer in the glove box just stopped working..couldn't eject the magazine, I tried fuses, tapping on the magazine. Nothing worked.
I found one on Ebay from a 08 CLK 550 for $109. Only to receive it, the power cable hooked right up, the fiber optic cable would not fit. The cable on my 09 was larger than the changer.Did the connectors change that much from year to year?
any advice would be welcome..

My guess is the one you bought is for the old D2B fiber used prior to MY2005, so it did not come from a MY2008.

DEB fiber was used through MY2004. The MOST fiber was for M2005 and later.
