For the car stereo crowd...well there is a first for everything....
I installed the 6 disc CD changer into the SL32 yesterday. The stereo system is fiber optic connected..pretty funky to be plugging in components with small 'plastic tubes' and not copper wiring.

I was just kidding. Toslink connectors were developed by Toshiba as a cheap fiber-optic
connector, used mostly in audio applications. They made poor connections, get loose quickly, etc.
The much better (and more expensive) alternative was ST-type connectors, which use a bayonet-type mount (similar to a BNC connector).
I'm sure for automotive applications MB uses a shielded, water-resistant connector for their fiber optic stuff.
