You are going to have to get an orange fiber optics cable from the dealer (should be about $10-$15 at most) and then run it from your COMAND unit into CD changer. Make sure that you look up MOST ring diagram and properly connect the ends.

i bought the wire today but they didnt have any instock so itll be there on tuesday or wednesday.but heres the great part to let them install it it would be another 150 bucks. thats for labor and then it reprograms the ecu to let it know it has a cd changer now. im not sure if im going to keep this thing if i have to keep on spending money on this thing but hopefully my mechanic can do that programing for me with his mercedes machine thing that he got. but whats that thing with the fan do i need that.

I see you got your changer from MBdoctor.If he didnt say you need it ,you probably dont .(i got mine from him too...with the fan though)
You can try without the fan and if it overheats just add it later..
