I just had my radio probrammed to accept a OEM fiber optic cd changer for my 2000 C230 Sport. Now that my radio knows I have a cd changer should I be able to see lights from the fiber optic connectors in the trunk?

 

yes.

you can do the wake up test.

have somebosy turn the radio on/off and it will flash twice.

the cd changer will flash back too to confirm that the signal is recieved (wake up signal).

 

A word of warning, it is not advisable to look for the light at the end of a fibre optic cable if the light source is produced by a laser.

 

OK I noticed the Signal from teh Radio but I would not be able to see the signal from the CD Changer if it is plugged in. I just hope that it is the changer not the fiber calbe that is suppost to deliver the return signal.

 

cd changer power is ok?

 

Yes there power going to the Changer. I was able to eject the magazine.

 

then the cd changer is faulty.

i think it's not new cd changer.

try disconnecting and reconnecting the power again then do the wake-up test.

optic fiber flash twice... the socket inside the cd changer for optic fiber also must flashes twice. if it doesn't, then it's either faulty or not adapted.

 

So shoulr I be able to see the CD Changer flash by just plugging the power or will it only flash in responce to the Head Unit flashinf first?

 

power plugged in, then radio on/off.

 

I ain't never seen and lights on my CD changer or radio on my C280 and bothj work fine?
