W211 CD Changer
OK. I screwed up.
I had the problem where the CD changer door would not open. I pulled the thing and figured that I could simply disable the motor by removing the arm that connects it to the changer and door. I could then manually open the door.
When I put the thing back in, everything seemed ok except that the disk would not eject when I pressed the button and the door motor was running continuously, without the actuator arm.
I pulled it out again and discovered this two pin connector. See the rear view picture. I can't find where it goes. Anybody have any idea?

Problem solved
It turns out that the connection was for a cooling fan that mounts on the back of the unit. I guess a previous owner screwed up the changer and pulled the fan off the unit.
I was able to find a used changer from a 2004 S500 . I swapped bezels from the old unit to the new one so that it matched the dash in my E55. Works perfect.
