Cd changer problem

[liveman1]

I have had a ML 270 for 3 weeks now,already have a problem,I have a 6 CD changer in the boot with no power,I removed the head unit and found that the iso plug is not plugged in,it is to big so i believe the head unit has been replaced,what I need is a C1 CONNECTOR anyone know where I can get one

the big iso plug should fit in the top slot on the back of the radio.

Has your radio been upgraded to a COMAND ?

The C1 supplies power to the CDC, the C2 supplies fibre-optic-wakeup signal, and the fibre optic plug the audio-control-data for the CDC.

Comand Online sells a plug and play converter loom that will take the 'C' plug used on the Audio10/Audio30 and converts to the C1 and C2 connectios

I still need the C1 plug as i have tried every where even command do not have them and mb dealers are not interested

Here is the converter loom: Comand Online Ltd :: Mercedes SatNav/COMAND :: COMAND Retrofit parts :: W163 last ML :: Comand wiring loom adapter for 2004/2005 W163 ML

Comand Online don't sell the individual connectors / contacts though
