1. The Orange Fiber cable connected to my radio , where is supposed to be connected ? because i can t find where it goes to connect the other side to the cd changer , unless I need another Fiber cable to Add it as an extension

2. I tried to follow to orange wire to see where it goes but couldn'T , is it normal ? do you think it s already connected somewhere Or I can just pull it out and connect it to the cd changer

3. I couldn't find where the power cable has to be connected behind the radio what do you think

The orange fibre cables must not be cut. If they are you will need to replace them completely.

You will need this kit here;

CD wiring kit for D2B W203/W209 (C/CLK) without COMAND

If you send your vin number to us at [email protected] I can tell you where the fibre goes to.
If you don’t have any fibre in the glove box then you will need a fibre extension.

CD Changer MOST fibre optic cable

If you order the above MOST fibre we will make sure you get the correct D2Bone instead.

I do not know why I should Need the first wire kit that you ve sent to me since in the back of my radio I Already have the orange fiber cable connected to the radio ( see 1 st picture in my Post ); so I beleive That I Need an extension like this :

For the Power cable I have no idea where is has to be connected ? is it from the CD changer to the back of the radio ? if so , should I Just unwrap the Power cables in the back of the radio and make an extension to the CD Changer ?

Thanks

You need the fibre extension because the fibre is a ring and you need to add a device into that ring.

The power/wake up loom is needed as your wires have all been cut. We send fitting instructions with the loom.

If you ever get fed up with throwing money at legacy tech then I can recommend swapping it for an Android unit which will give you not only CD playback but also mp3 on CD or micro SD card, streaming from Spotify etc or from your mobile phone, up to date navigation, reversing cam etc.
