Inconsistent CD changer behavior

Hi Guys,

Now that I've got my trunk back together, the changer is acting up. The head unit is not displaying any error messages but the changer just stops playing but appears to be working. I'm hoping this is related to Gilly's comment about having the dealer work some magic on the head unit.

Of course, the changer was working for a while and skipped whenever I hit a medium-sized road ripple or pothole. I'm in Maine so they're everywhere. Now, I'm leaning towards getting an Audio 10 so I can keep the stock look. Now, my questions are:

1. Do I need to go to the dealer to get my radio code for the existing unit or is there another source of that information? The previous owner didn't pass it along. I want to have the code so I can return the car to stock at some point in the future (1999 SL500.)

2. Is there a better option than the Audio 10? I am not interested in the shiny, multicolored units I see ay the local car stereo store.

3. Does anyone have any experience with www.perfectmarketaudio.com as a seller of Audio 10s?

4. Has anyone done this in a 99 SL500? I found a great thread on doing this in the W203 but am wondering if there gotchas with the 129.

Thanks again.
