Command and Disc Autochanger removal

[tjamesbo]

I decided to remove my 6 disc autochanger from my 07 Vito 639 as I want to put a powered sub in its place . After removing and unplugging the CD changer my command / radio etc would power up show the MB logo and then go blank and power off . When I reconnect the CD changer it works again as normal Do I have to remove the Harness from the back of the command or delete it in some other way I dont want the CD changer there and it doesnt get used ( i did notice after disconnection that one of the ends of the harness flashed a red light -presumably fibre optic a few times so its probably looking for some sort of handshake ) . I was surprised that it shuts itself down completely ie Radio & satnav ! if it doesnt get it is something else going on here ?? Best / easiest way to delete it ?

You need to loop the fibre cable or have the head unit coded to forget about the CD changer.

Fibre optic looping tool for MOST bus

Google ISO connector plug. You will find an image that shows which ones are which. Colours may vary but pin location will be correct.
