CD Changer
I was thinking of getting an additional changer cassette for my 04 sl500. Any idea who makes the changer? Is it cheaper to go aftermarket, or just go to dealer. Thanks. (P.S. I did a search, but could not find any info)

Actually there are a few different 6 Disc CD Changer magazines from Alpine. The older 6 Disc magazines like the Alpine 4905 won't work. You want the Alpine KAE-116C (One Pack) or Alpine KAE-216C (Two Pack).

Thanks, I wondered if those would work. Crutchfield also seems to have a "usa spec" brand, and I think that mag will work also. I turn cars over so often nowadays, that I have lost touch with all the aftermarket audio stuff.

Turns out, the magazine from the dealer was only $25.00 retail. Very surprised, I expected close to double the price of aftermarket. Thanks again for your replies.
