2000 ML320 - Front CD Player? MP3 Capability?

I have a 2000 ML320, wondering if I can install a CD player behind the LCD. I already have the standard 6-disc changer in the rear. Thus, perhaps the player behind the LCD would be disc 7?

Also wondering if I can upgrade my changer to support MP3 playback.

Thanks,
Lucid

It will work exactly like this.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for this? Where to buy the CD player, which one to get, installation, etc? I'd rather not go through the dealer in order to save some $$ and enjoy doing it myself.

How about buying a new changer that internally decodes MP3s?

I'd be interested in this too. When the cargo area is full, it's a real pain to get to the changer. Plus, you can't change CDs in the rear while driving.

Ebay.com would be your best bet for cheapest pricing, however, there is more risk. You dealer will cover the CD player under a warranty for a year, remember that when the price is higher.

As for MP3, no go. But it does play burned CDs with wav files, so you can atleast make your own music.

Sounds like a good option for MLs with the 3rd row seats

With the RH 3rd row seat folded up it can be a real pain to access the changer: Lower the seat, undo the clips, take out the panel,remove the thumbscrew, swing out the changer, etc, etc.
If anyone one finds a good deal please let me know.

Yep

Hehe, I was just looking at his stuff. No in-dash CD right now it seems, just the nav and changers.
