I'm hearing that it is possible to hook up an Alpine CD changer with this plug to the fiber optic connection in my E 320. Has anybody used it or heard how well it performs? And also how much is it, and where can i find it? Any info that can be provided will be greatly appreciate.

I talked to peripheral electronics last week and there is no such thing....

There is a post in the W210 E Class formn that you can use an Alpine changer (CHM- S601, S611, and S620) with this. Well, is there any way to connect a non-fiber optic CD changer to the one in the Benz?

You have two choices.

Only the MB changer or the Becker 2662 will work.

Don't believe everything you read. There are no adapters to allow an alpine m-bus cd changer to work. There are only two choises as Horst has said.<br>

I just purchased a peripheral plug from sounddomain.com for 79.95 to connect my alpine CD changer. Works great. I have a 98 C230.<br> <br> Good Luck.

Your car is not fiber optic until 99 that is why the peripheral adapter works! <br>

The Becker 10 disk changer comes with a fiber optic connector. It is a heavy-duty, all metal changer made in Germany. The all plastic, six disc changer from Alpine doesn't compare. SW Stereo Specialists (800-270-2378) advertises them in 'The Star' magazine from the Mercedes-Benz Club of America. P.

Peter,in the first place the mbz alpine is not all plastic. The only Becker cd changer that is fiber-optic is a 6 cd changer #2662 and it is made by another Japanese company and I would have to say it has as much plastic as the alpine. Read what Horst from Becker said in his post.
