E class 211 questions

[pomm001]

i have recently bought an 04 e class 2.2 elegance and have a few questions i hope the forum could help me with
my car has the single CD/radio if i wanted to add the changer in the little 'pop out' section of the dash would this just 'plug in' or would i need a new radio section as well ? anyone had experience.

Sorry Malcolm - the 211 has the changer in the dash - under the 'james bond' sliding switch panel!

In answer to your question, yes the cd changer will fit to your Audio 20 (radio/cd) quite simply and work off the cdc switch.
I'm not sure of the exact process but it can be done.
The changers do come up on ebay. there are 2 types as I understand it. The original ones that play cds and the later (mid 04 -) ones that can also play mp3s. They look the same and fit the same but I'm guessing the model nos will be different.

Malcolm - do you have access to the model nos?

BTW www.braybrooks.co.uk do it for £500+vat and they're not cheap so you should be able to do it for a fair bit less.

Thank you J berks for that, I had a look around for it but did not find it and I did think twice before posting and I have removed the post as it is incorrect.

When you say model number do you mean for the radio and changer.

Hi Malcolm,
I was thinking cd changer. I'm guessing that this will have changed with the newer mp3 compatible ones. A difference well worth knowing if shopping on ebay!
