Removal of a CD Changer from Glove Box SLK 350

I would like to remove the CD Changer from my glove box from my Mercedes-Benz SLK 350. The questions that I have are as follows....

1. Will removing the Cd Changer effect any of the electrical system of the car?

2. Will I still be able to use the radio in the car without the Cd Changer?
3. How do I remove the CD Changer?

Thank You Very Much, Chris.

Have A Great Day! !

You need to close the optical loop. Otherwise you will have audio problems.

I saw another users post on the forum and i replied there also but would removing the changer not cause most bus errors to be stored since the car thinks that the changer should be there the can bus records comms errors if devices are remove so i thought that most would also

thanks for any help you can provide as i am really curious about this one

cheers
Dan

Removing the changer will cause an error in the MOST ring. You will need star diag to reconfigure the MOST ring to show no CD changer.

Wow. I would add the MP3-capable changer if I could. My dealer disavows all knowledge of how to do it.

I'm emailing with MBenzNL right now to see if I can have them do the job for me. Long drive to the Netherlands from Michigan, but they come highly recommended.
