Just want to say Thank You for saving me also. I was just gifted a 2001 w220 S500 designo and the Bose stereo started acting up intermittently with "no cd changer" then after 200 mile trip, suddenly "magazine empty" and stereo worked for the rest of THAT day. Then "no cd changer", even though I have a few more of the fiber optic cables (phone, navigation) in my vehicle your TRICK worked for me perfectly! Now I use a FM transmitter in the cig lighter with a USB loaded with MP3's and Bluetooth from Amazon and it is totally modernized and sounds GREAT! Thanks! Plus, I can always get a rebuilt cd changer and put everything back to original!
