1) I would lie to know if anyone was able to use another brand of cd changer than the Mercedes changer?
2) I heard from a person in the car audio business that Alpine changers could be used with Mercedes.
I would like to know if this is right ?
3) If so, what model of Alpine works.
4) Also would the controls on my steering wheel work?
5) Same wiring in the trunk?
Thank-You.

It would be extremely helpful if your post included the specific model and production year of the car... otherwise forum members are just guessing when posting a response.
