Faulty CD Changer & Speakers

[davidaxltay]

Hello bros,

Need your help on finding a workshop to replace/repair the faulty CD changer and speakers? 

I am looking at the original unit or something similar.

Driving a 08 model.

Not sure about the cd changer. I changed my speakers before. U can just buy from stockist and go to any workshop they can change it for you as it is a direct swap. Take note u need to buy the rivets as well because the speakers are riveted on. The old rivets will have to be drilled off in order to change

[davidaxltay]

Thanks for your advice Mark. Any advice on the stockist and audio shop to do this? Thanks.

[MarkSim]

Goldenlink, Pas auto are come of the stockist for benz parts. Any workshop can do the work, not necessary audio shop

how much is a set of speakers? Mine also spoil.. 

[MarkSim]

I don't really remember but I think is less than 100. Pretty cheap

[davidaxltay]

Thanks for your advice. 😊

Thanks for all your advice bro.

I changed my speakers at an audio shop .... only issue is the CD changer now. 

Hear that is extremely expensive.

managed to find out the cost for CD changer? mine seem bit faulty too, takes long time to read, and when started playing, error message saying format not recognized

[davidaxltay]

Yes .... it costs about $3k. 

I took the cheaper route of using a MP3 player plugged into aux.

 ok, I won't consider changing it then...LOL rather spend on bits of the FL conversion if ever I am going to spend that money. I just bought a PCMCIA card hopefully it will work

[davidaxltay]

Yeah .. I have got a PCMCIA card which came with my car but I do not know if it is working.

Where did you get your card? Need a storage card (SD)  to accompany it.

I have tried it but does not seem to work. Maybe I should replace a PCMCIA card? mmmm

I bought the compact flash to pcmia adapter and a compact flash card from Amazon. all inclusive about $20-$30. just tested, it works. to play from the pcmia slot, just select MP3 under the audio menu, should be there

Repair the stock CD changer may set you back by about $900... may be cheaper to check with any scrap yard in Sungei Kadut area...if you are lucky...$200? then find an audio technician and installation would probably takes about an hour or so...
