Hidden Center Compartment!

Ok What is the name of this thing? And where can i find it?! Its the compartment directly below the command unit, and mine seems broken or off its track, cause it wont open.

I didnt know I even had this, until i was dinking around with the command and watching youtube videos.

If you have it push the silver button below the hazard button, took me about a month to find mine by accident of course

Do you have the 6 disk changer? I thought mine didn't at first, but I was dinking around the first day and I found it. Mine works flawlessly!

So are you trying to see if you have a CD changer? Honestly I don't use mine at all and plug my phone into the aux port in the glove compartment (05' - 06'). I am contemplating update to a newer stereo.

The mechanism is directly attached to the glove box. What color interior I have tons of these laying around and I wouldn't mind helping a brotha out.

Yes. MB sells a storage cubby that replaces the changer ($20). The fiber optic chain is broken when you take the CD changer out of the loop. You will need a fiber optic connector, which MB also sells ($7), to pass the optical signal along the MOST ring.

There's a thread on the forums that explains everything.

umm its the lighter wood grain one, but if you have some, I dont even really mind what color it is.

according to my research its pretty easy to remove and change. just a matter of actually finding one
