Cd Question

I OWN A 1991 300E AND WENT THROUHG THE WHOLE PROCEDURE OF RE -WIRING THIS CAR TO RUN MY RADIO AND CD SHUTTLE.

I HAVE JUST PURCHASED A 1994 320E. (NICE CAR-BUT WAS SCHOCKED THAT THE PREVIOS OWNER HAD JUST SPENT ABOUT $4000 IN THE LAST MONTH ON THE CAR) I SEE THE AMPS IN THE TRUNK AND I DONT WANT TO DO THIS WHOLE PROCEDURE AGAIN?

WHICH CD CHANGER UNIT WILL PLUG INTO THE EXCISTING HEAD UNIT? I WOULD LIKE AFTERMARKET AS I KNOW MERC WILL BE CRAZY WITH THE PRICES?

I AM IN THE FLORIDA AREA.
ANY HELP WILL BE APPRECIATED

THANKS

What kind of head unit is in their right now? Merc Benz OE? Aftermarket?

My recommendation would be to replace speakers & head unit with aftermarket stuff.

Wiring to a trunk cd changer would be a task. I recommend running cables under carpet, under rear seats, drill a hole through first aid kit (under cover) and you will connect anything there.

KEEP IN MIND, my G320 has a six cd changer, my 300E has an aftermarket Sony single MP3 player, and the 300E can hold more songs!

IT IS THE ORIGINAL HEAD UNIT.
CIRCUIT CITY CAN SUPPLY 'ORIGINAL" CD CHANGER FOR ABOUT $350.00. YOU CAN BUY A LOT OF SOUND FOR THAT!
