I have a 2000 E430. The CD player located in the trunk will not
operate. When I try, the radio reads CD player not installed. Any
ideas?

You have to find a shop with some knowlegde about installing gadgets in
the computer menu of the service program. Its working similar to the
hardware applet in windows. Probably the CD player activation has been
cancled after occurence of a functional error.

Well, mine has the Bose system, and the changer unit was an ongoing source
of problems.
When it finally locked up, I enquired as to the replacement cost.
To my surprise, the replacement changer unit cost as much as the entire Bose
system option when new: $1000.
Needless to say, I declined, and pitched the old unit, vowing to never buy
another car with a Bose stereo.
Thieving bastards.
Subsequently, I purchased an adaptor for my Ipod.
Much better, as I now have my entire collection at my disposal, without the
hassle and limitations of the trunk mounted changer.

Do you use condoms?
That can be washed and used again!
