Decided to remove the oem Audio 10 stereo cassette (!) player and fit something I can plug into my wee tablet or my phone in to play music.
I'd had a good experience with a Sony head unit on my last CLK (it destroyed 2 Audio 10 CD players, fortunately while the car was under warranty, gave up in the end and replaced it with aftermarket) so I've gone with that brand again - a DSX - A410BT bluetooth thing. It comes with an adaptor to plug into the original wiring (not the steering controls) which is fine, except that the unit can't be connected in such a way as the ACC position and switched power on the ignition works. OK, not a massive problem as the unit has an auto off, but it isn't ideal. The Sony I had on the old car worked fine, except for the steering controls.
Can anyone point me in the direction of an adaptor cable that will actually work properly?
