Hi all,

First time poster here.

Bought the OEM CD changer (paid $399) and insalled it in my 2002 ML320. Like the others that have posted here. The MCS claims that there is no cd player installed. After reading some of the posts, I see that it needs to be reporgrammed.

My questions are: What is it that they re-program? Based on some of the pics I've seen of the MCS, there is no adapter on it to get hooked up to any kind of interface. Does all the dealer do is disconnect the power from the MCS and plug it back in - to do some kind of bootup test?

Also, I've read in other posts that the center bin needs to be opened to disconnect and re-connect the fiber cables. I don't know how to remove the center bin to find these cables.. i can't find any screws to open the bin.

I don't know why installing this CD changer requires a trip to the dealer.

Any help would be appreciated...

TIA,
