Pro Star CarPlay USB CD Player

The Pro Star CarPlay USB CD Player adds an external single-disc drive to 2019-2026 Mercedes-Benz E Class models that no longer include a factory CD player. It connects directly to the vehicle's USB port for a plug-and-play installation that requires no additional wiring or tools. The unit is designed for drivers who still want to listen to their personal CD collection through the car's original audio system.

USB Powered Operation

The device draws all of its power from the car's USB port so no separate power supply or battery connection is needed. During normal use the drive spins only when a disc is inserted and indexed, keeping electrical load and audible noise to a minimum. An initial indexing period of about two minutes is required after insertion before the disc becomes fully accessible.

Flexible Console Mounting

The compact player can be mounted vertically or horizontally on the centre console, inside the glove box or in any location where the attached USB cable reaches the port. No dashboard modification or custom brackets are required, leaving the factory interior trim completely intact. The included printed instructions guide the simple placement and set-up process.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Pro Star USB CD player in my 2019-2026 Mercedes-Benz E Class, and what step causes problems?

Plug the cable into the vehicle's USB port and mount the unit where the cable reaches. The critical step is waiting two full minutes for the CD to finish indexing before using it; interrupting this process requires restarting the entire setup with a different disc.

What maintenance or replacement will the Pro Star USB CD player need over time?

The unit has no user-serviceable parts. Keep the laser lens clean by using only standard CD cleaning discs when read errors appear, and protect the USB connector from dust when the player is removed. No scheduled lubrication or belt changes are required.

What limit appears first during long drives with the Pro Star USB CD player?

Continuous operation is limited by the vehicle USB port's power delivery. If the port cannot supply enough current for extended periods, the player may reset or stop reading until the port cools or the load is reduced.
