I just purchased a 2001 ml55. The vehicle did not come with with a cd changer (I have the window sticker.) I bought a fiber optic cd changer on ebay but it will not load the cds after inserting the magazine into the changer. All the connections are correct, it is the correct cd changer for the vehicle, and it does have power (the magazine will eject). The person I purchased the cd changer from said that the dealer had to program the head unit to recognize the changer, the service tech at the MB dealer told me it was "plug and play". Does anyone know the correct solution.
thank you

does the deck say no cd changer? If so do you have sos or cell phone? If you do then the problem is the fiberoptics still need to be re configured so the cd changer is in the loop. Let me know

It says no cd. The car does have sos as well as cell, but I do not have the actual hand held phone. When I inserted the loaded magazine into the changer nothing happened, cd's did not load, nor did the cd icon appear on the display. Thanks for your help,
Brian
