So for my high school graduation gift I got a 2000 C280 Sport. not bad at all. It didnt have a CD Player in it because the person that ha dit before me took it out. So i wated untill Christmas to get one and i got one for $400. not bad considering they go for $1000+ new at the dealer. So today i took it to the people that work on sound systems and they hook it up and I get on my radio saying "NO CD CHANGER" im thinking What the hell? so i called the parts destributer that I got it from and UPS man droped it and broke it. so now i have it installed in my car and i have to take it back to the audio place and get it taken out and the destributer will send me a new cd changer at no charge. And also i made an appoitment with the local MB Dealer to get it looked at but now i have to cancle it because the cd changer has to be sent back. So in the end it turned out to be a long day from the Audio place to my local MB Specialest to the MB Dealer. AAAHHHHHH

once you get the CD changer, if it is OEM, you dont need a stereo shop to connect it, theres just a cable that u have to plug in and just mount the player

 

Have you thought about skipping the changer and getting an MP3 player adapter? Cheaper, more storage, custom?

 

actualy BLUESILVER i tried that. I have the Zune from Microsoft and i got the am/fm transmiter and it was terrable. All it did for me was intercept other channels and cel phone calls. It is a good idea but i just didnt work. And also i need to figure out how to trn off the speed sensor on the radio.

 

Sport, you have got to be kidding!! You drive a Benz, and use a Zune??! No harm intended, but a Mercedes and a Zune just do not go together... get a better quality player.

Anyway, I do hope you get your audio system working.

 

OH dont worry i got one and at a great price too. I love my Zune, but as i learned its not for the car.

 

I have sat radio and the CD changer, haven't used either for serveral months. I listen mostly to my iPod through aux-in. Search around, there's aux adapters for your car. Also check out Bipes, a few people on the SLK forum have it - http://www.frontiernet.net/~dbipes/SLK/auxin/index.htm

 

just a note did you check ebay or this classified are in the forums for compatible radios or direct upgrades first? i bought a command nav from canada for mine yet to be installed cause of school but it does work i have tested it and that was 458.00 i think for 400 if it wasnt a 7inch flip out you got robbed. most flip outs also come w media modules you can plug an aux media player into like your zune i used my port in the media player in our family jeep suv for the ipod and slim ps2 for the kids

 

No i did not check ebay or forums but i got a good deal because i got it for $400 when the dealer wanted $1200. I didnt want t oget to fancy with a flip up becasue im trading the car in with in a few years anyway thats why i held off on rims,tinted windows and rear spolier.
