Aftermarket Stereo ?

[TILTNTURN]

Missing my USB stick bigtime as radio generally doesnt play Jo Bonamassa or srv .

Im not sure if my 2006 CLK hs can bus or if there is anything I need watch out for when fitting a double din stereo . Im not bothered about steering wheel controls .

So can anyone give me any advice on what to look out for or what I need othet than the double din stereo . Thanks Tilt.

What do you have currently?

 

[TILTNTURN]

Same as this one .

 

[LostKiwi]

How about something like this?

Keeps the car nice and original that way.

Would love to do it that way but not sure if this unit has the aux facility which I thought was lurking in the glovebox but there nout . Is the aux input on the rear of the stereo ?
Thanks by the way .

Should this be a concern as I dont have a changer . It says in the description >
Installation notice :

# Make sure that your external CD changer option is enabled, if it is not enabled, you need to contact your dealer and ask to activate the CD changer function.



# If you already have a external CD changer, This adapter will disable and replace your existing CD Changer.

That connects by spoofing a CD changer using the MOST fibre optic connections on the back of the unit.

So no worries , plug and play .
If the changer is not enabled can I do so myself ?
So I can ask for one for me birthday next week and she will obey ?

I have that radio (or certainly looks like it) in my R Class. I bought this https://www.commandonline.co.uk/mb_aux_ntg2.html from Mercedes & fitted it to the pre drilled hole in the side of my glove box. I was told that it wasn't compatible but it works.
The radio needs to show AUX when you press & hold CDC though

Yes I pressed n held it and its shows Aux .
Ill haver at look at that unit your talking about .

Pretty sure it was that one I linked to. I think I have the MB part number at home, but in work till 8. I'll look when I get in (9-ish)

 

[TILTNTURN]

Ah your just looking for sympathy now lol.
I need to do more studying on this as Id much rather keep the original stereo fitted .
Thanks again peeps . Tilt.

 

[EmilysDad]

found what think is the receipt, but the description is vague & I think this is the pt no MBB6 6 56 0190

5 yrs ago it was £21 from Mercedes

 

[TILTNTURN]

Thanks for that . Seems to have gone up in price lol.
Think Ill probably invest in the unit LostKiwi suggested , seems to cover everything I need and as he says keeps the original stereo which Id rather do . Thanks all.

It was much cheaper from MB at the time

Have a 2005 W220 and have been looking at these Double Din units on eBay, Amazon, etc. Is there any useful information about these things rather than just sales info? How well do they integrate? How does the satnav update? Will it play MP3, ISO files from USB; what about the CD unit in the boot? So many things to find out.
Thanks.
