CD Changer Problem

I bought a cd changer cable to female aux and plugged it into the back of the radio, but when I click cd it states "No CD Changer". Can someone help me with this problem?

if you have the 2002 E430, that uses fiber connectivity to the changer. NOTHING is available for you to convert to AUX-IN

do you know the reason why the cd changer doesnt read the aux cord? is it bc it doesnt have its own seperate power?

actually, your description isn't too clear. it would be better to post photos of your head unit rear panel,
as well as the product name of AUX-IN unit including how/where you plugged it in. so far, you've only
provided a somewhat generic description

but, to answer your question, fiber optic uses light to transmit data. traditional/legacy radio connectivity
relies on electrical impulses. the two are totally incompatible
