I just purchased a CD Changer from Crutchfiled! It is for the 2002 C 240 and is fiber optic. When I went to go get it installed, the stereo shop sent me back to get a Mercedes special part called the (Y) Adapter to complete the install. Supposedly I was supposed to get the one that was not for the Bose system. I did purchase the NON-Bose (Y adapter) and it wasn't the correct one, so I had to go back to the Dealer and purchase the (Y) adapter that was for the Bose stereo, which did fit. Now I do not have anything in my car that tells me I have a Bose Head Unit or Stereo, but it did fit. However the CD Changer would not cycle or Play. When I pressed the CD Changer Button on the Unit it said (NO CD CHANGER), but I can eject the cartridge from the Changer itself, so there is power there!
I went to the Merc dealership and talked to a lady that worked in service Department and she told me that the Head unit had to be programmed to turn the CD Changer option to on, (THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT).
My question to all you is this,
Is this correct or not! Not to doubt a woman that works there as a profession, but why would the Unit have to set and programmed to on, shouldn't be just plug and play!
Seems logical, but if Mercs did this on purpose to get more money----That's some Bullshit to the 10th Power!
Please let me know if this is correct or if anyone has experienced the same problem.
