Default aftermarket CD Player - SLK 280 2006???

Apparently the fiber optic wiring baffled Best Buy and my Christmas gift has to be returned. What are my options?

Where do I find that info? Do I have to go to a MB dealer?

What does the VIN tell you?

btw - dealer showed me the location in the trunk for the changer that they offer when I was having my tour of the car when I picked it up... it's probably MB dealer product only. I'll try that route tomorrow but am pretty sure the cost will be way out of line.

VIN tells me everything about your car...more than you do.

it prevents me from giving you wrong information.

the dealer can be wrong because your car is 171.454 and retrofit CD changer is only applicable to 171.442 models.

the CD changer is fitted on the glove compartment!

No doubt I am mistaken about the trunk cavity for the CD changer... Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. You must get lots of dumb questions from folks like me. Appreciate that you are on-line and patient. Gail.

Didn't like your answer though... I spend 1.5 hrs /day in my little car and music is really important. Now I am putting up w/ 1 CD and after being caught in a snowstorm X 6 hrs the other day I wanted to pitch my favorite one out the window.
