Does someone (other then MB) make a CD changer that is compatible with the fiber optic cable in the 99 E Class. I know the car is prewired for a CD in the trunk. Anyone know where the cable connection is located in the trunk??

Hi,

Becker (www.beckerautosound.com) Has the 6 disc Silverstone model 2662 to plug right into your harness. The harness is behind the left hand side inner trunk panel. The fiber optic cable is orange and there is 1 more connector wrapped up in the harness which is your power/ground/wake-up portion that plugs into the cd changer. Make sure you have the radio programmed at your local Mercedes-Benz dealership after you install it, because the cd changer will work for a little while then display no cd magazine. I have run into this before, but not all radio do this that are not programmed. I would have my car programmed though. It takes Mercedes less than 5 minutes to do with the Hand Held Tester they have. Hope this helps you out!

Ockman, your question has been asked several times before. Try the search feature in the upper right hand corner. Search in Tech Help as well as Car Audio.

I bought my 2662 for $499 from S&W stereo at(919) 963-3663. Becker wanted $688 for it at the time. That was last June, so there are probably other vendors that are even cheaper.
