Audio 10 doesn't see Bose or Cd changer (W203)
So I put the original stock stereo back in "Carly" the 262K mile 2002 C230 coupe,
and tranferred the Becker "Audio 10" into the "new" 2002 C coupe who we've named Inga, but there is no sound and it doesn't appear to
recognize the cd changer.
I'm guessing there's an issue of programming in the radio itself to tell it to route the audio to the fiber optic network.
Anyone have any idea that might resolve this without needing Star Diag?
And does anyone know if Star Diag has fields to tell the radio to send audio to fiber and that there's a
cd changer?
I was so looking forward to hearing some actual BASS as the stock radio in these cars was a POS with a
cassette deck. Well only in the US. In the rest of the world, they came with an in dash CD
and I ordered one from the Netherlands waaaay back when. It has such better sound.
And the Bose has a subwoofer in the trunk, so I was somewhat excited to hear some decent sounds.
Ah, not to be at this point.
Well looks like I'll leaving the stock radio in for now.

I am not familiar with scanner actual coverage of 2002 W203 cars
You do need to enable the list of slots in "MOST ring" under VARIANT settings.
Missing Fiber modules can be physically bypassed if you face difficulties reprogramming easily.

Backwards support and coverage is fairly limited.
Newer tools have forward module support at most.

Can you convert into simple analog signal ?
