I purchased the fiber optic cd changer from ************************. I also bought the braket kit (which had the instructions).

The CD changer did not come with anything, except for the magazine.

I spoke to a "service advisor" at the dealership today. he told me that he needs to hookup the MCS to a laptop and program it.

As I said earlier, the MCS has no serial or any kind of interface to be hooked up to a laptop. My guess is this... They will disconnect it and reconnect the power and hold down some magic key (s) to enter some kind of setup mode, where they can configure the MCS.

There is no reason why an end-user can do this either... All we need are the codes I think.
