anyone got a place to suggest where i can find a plug and play cd changer for97 e320 besides ebay.

 

You could try: http://www.autotoys.com/. They have OEM changers.

I saw some posts in the audio & electronics forum, that indicate you still have to have the dealer reprogram the head unit to recognize the changer.

 

I have bought from this campany in the past for CD changers for a 99, and 00 E-Class. They have all the parts and the price was the best I had found for a OEM changer and bracket. Real OEM, not a knock off or equivalent.

Good luck

Randy B,

The prices at Autoclass seem to good to be true. Are the CD changers new?

Thanks

You can also use the Alpine CHM-S611 or CHM-S620 changers and a interface cord called MBZIL.

Here are the instruction in pdf format:

MBZIL Installation Instructions

 

Yes the players are brand new,not refurbs, seconds, or aftermarket. Even have the MB artwork on them.

 

thanks guys for the advice, will try to look into alpine and adapter unit.
how much is it kev?

 

Search for both on the internet to compare prices.

The Alpine CHM-S620 is $199.95 & MBZIL adapter is $69.95 at www.sounddomain.com

 

hey kev, can u also use the alpine -chm-s630. looks like it can do cd-rw. should be okay right since based on the 620.

 

I don't see why not. The connection ports are probably the same.
