The MB OE 6CD changer on my 1993 SL500 only plays about 2/3 of a CD before the sound quality deteriorates, ending up with the song in a sort of pulsing mode.
I've stripped the unit, cleaned everything but still the problem continues and fear it's the central spindle/bearing.
Looking for a replacement and while there are no inexpensive MB ones about I see a one from a Renault Laguna/Megane which would seem to be the same manufacturer (Alpine). The plug has the same 8+1 pins although the locking clip is in a slightly different position. Anyone used one of these, modifying the plug or socket? Or anyone with a working changer they no longer use?
Thanks in advance.
