Cd Changer having problems

ok guys heres my issue. i bought a cd changer from mbdoctor. i recieved it and installed it but it had a really bad sound to it. he gave me anther one and then i installed that one. so far it was working fine except that everytime i put a cd in it just says cd error. itll work right whenever it wants. i have to put a cd in about 10 times until maybe it starts working. and i used all types of cds. i used mp3 cds, and regular albums.

Did you ask him if the changer could be reset?(by holding down buttons maybe...it works on w203 changers)
I am sure he will take care of it one way or another.He is a fair guy.I got a few things from him also.

The w203 only has 1 button (eject) and as far as i can remember,i just had to hold it down for some time.W211 could be more complicated but while waiting for the doctor's respons you could try the the the good ol' power cable trick.

disconnect the power cable or pull the fuse.It should reset the changer.

I think it is #5 in the side fuse panel beside the steering wheel.

I was just checking and some people say it is at the back #6.You can just unplug the power from the unit if you handy with the panels.
