I just purchased a 2002 C230. The car was not equipped with the CD changer. Has anyone bought an after market changer that is compatible with factory head unit?

Yes, go to: www.autoclass.net

The price is about $450 with all the parts. The dealer should be able to install it in less than 1 hour for about $100.

autoclass sells a good unit at a fair price, had mine now for over a year and works great. I also had MB install, sure beats the radio.

I've seen them on E-bay for around $250+

There are only two cd changers which can be connected to the stock headunit via the D2B fiber optic loop. They are the MB-Alpine unit as sold by the dealers and Autoclass, and the Becker Silverstone 2662. Any other changer must be connected using an RF modulator or the headunit must be changed to a non-MB unit.
