95 has a different head unit than the 91 Larry is talking about. Don't
know if the same CD changer info applies.
I also have an Alpine CHM-S630 changer in place of the defunct MB unit
in my 95. Any of the CHM series should work. Don't know if Alpine
still makes them, though.
Yes, the MB changer was made by Alpine. Only difference is the
connector to the controller. Believe it or not, that $100 converter is
kust a cable with different connectors on each end. Great profit
margin, I'm sure.

I couldn't read the message you refered to. But maybe this will help:
In the trunks of both of my 124's I have mounted Alpine CHM-S620 CD players.
I'm not sure that model is still available, I had to go to Ebay to buy one
of them.
Alpine probably has another new model that does the same trick.
It takes a Peripheral Interface MBZALPS to connect the Alpine to the
existing wiring harness in the trunk.
The stock MB radio in your dash thinks the Alpine is the same player you
would pay $800 to get at the stealer.
IIRC the Alpines cost between $100 and $200. I suspect the official MB
player was probably made by Alpine.
