I can't see how. The audio 10 is s a single din unit whereas the W211 systems are all double din (Audio 20 is the equivalent in the 211). There will be a double din space in the dash but the shape on the front will be all wrong. If you have an audio 10, I'd look to replace it with the old CD based command unit. In any case the W211 command (I assume thats what you mean by DVD), needs an appropriate can bus, external amps and other expensive bits you won't have.

Thanks jberks i just assumed that because i had a double din slot that the audio 10 and the tray would pull out and the w211 would fit in nicely
So in your opinion it just wont fit.You may have saved me a lot of trouble thanks mate

The crucial bit here is "In my opinion". I haven't tried, but the sides of the Audio 20,50 and command are shaped (or at least they look that way) and its dobtful that they shape will match. Also, as I say, because it was never intended for that model, its probably that the wiring loom will be different. Anything is possible but I suspect it will be quite tricky. There are some nice units intended for that model and that will be a lot less hassle.

clk200k 2003 audio

Hi jberks, I have just purchased a clk200k 2003. As you know, audio system doesn't look so beutiful as the new facelift (eventhough is with cd-changer, the ne version is very pretty). Do you have any suggestion on what I should do to change it with something nicer? Thanks man

This seems to come up a lot!

The command units look lovely and there a lot of threads on retro fitting.

What I could never understand is why Mercedes didn't make another cover section or CD / cup holder in other models without command.

Your options:

Command - www.comand.co.uk

1 tray system with screen that pops out and slides up - Kenwood - with sat nav and dvd - my friend fited this to his SLK and looked very good - i've also seen one in the CLK fitted in the lower slot with a covered splitter from the lighter socket above for phone/pdaetc.

or fit a nice head unit with ipod plug in or ipod plug into the back into the autochanger slot and put another cover below

or cup holder - lots that fit stero tray slots on the net but make sure no clash with gear changer

Does anyone know anyone who makes covers that fit like the one over the ashtray - has anyone removed the ashtray unit as well and fitted something dazzling.
