I have a 97 C280. Where does the stock CD changer mount in this car? I've heard it goes in the trunk but I can't find where exactly to put it and where the connector is for the head unit.

i believe its hangs on the top right corner, next to the speaker, that is the way my cd changer is placed

Mine is located in the right side bin behind the wheel well.

Correct. Remove the right rear wheel trunk cover and you will find the OEM changer wires underneath. You may need to purchase the oem cd changer bracket to mount it in this location if your car was had never had a changer mounted from the dealer.

Thanks for the replies. I'll see if I can find the cable behind the right rear wheel.

The changer came with the mounting bracket so I should have all I need.

To mount the bottom screw of the cd changer bracket its easier to just pull the battery out to gain access to the bolt.

:knocked: so it was under the battery all along.

i was looking for the stock mounting location for about 30-45 min when i was installing my changer. i ended up just drilling holes on my rear shelf next to the speaker.

I think I found the stick location for the changer but I don't see how it mounts. There are no holes there. Maybe I have the wrong mount for it?

Does anyone have a picture of the mount?

Also, what should the connector on the CD changer end look like? The one I have is round, while the cable in the car is rectangular. Am I missing an adaptor?
