Alpine CD Changer Wiring HELP! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

TCCBass · #1 12-30-2002, 11:39 AM

I purchased an Alpine 6 Disk changer with interface on ebay. All the wires are there, but, alas, I have NO idea the sequence they go. There is a power plug and female/male connectors on one end and several plugs on the other. The unit came out of a 92 300E, so I know that it should just plug and play. That is...if I knew what to plug. The CD player is an older one that I'll replace. I mainly want sound out of it now and will deal with that later. I found a wiring diagram for the Becker changer on here, but haven't found anything on the Alpine wiring. I know it's probably simple, but I'm a little baffled on this one.

I appreciate any help on this. I'm getting the main cable fixed this evening as I managed to pull a couple of the tiny wires loose in it. Perhaps my little dark cloud will pass with the next cold front...

Can you post a pic of what you have so I can tell you what to do?
I have a pic of the aftermarket parts but not of the stock parts.

Scott,

Thank you for the quick response...you're saving the day on this project.

I'll attach 3 pictures...one of the whole thing...and the others of each "end" of the wiring...

I'd be glad to give them all letters or numbers if you like...

I BELIEVE these all plug into the trunk tuner unit...but I'm all ears on this...

In the second photo the black 8 pin and the blue 8 pin go together. In the 3 rd photo the blue male din plugs into the tuner box where the existing plug is and the existing plug goes into the 8 pin blue female connector. The power 4 pin connector unplugs from the tuner box and plugs into the blue 4 pin connector and the other one pluge back into the tuner box. And you are done!
