- E Class 220 (2012)
Hi all,
I have only had my beautiful (new to me) E class 220 a matter of weeks before my partner accidentally dropped the air fragrance in the car and then put it back on upside down. The liquid has eroded the head unit as it was acid. Needless to say, I am in the market for a new missus ha and for the moment cant being myself to go in the Mercedes
A cost of a new one is circa £500 + cost to replace is £150. Apparently you just but the fascia on its own all though it looks as it could simply unscrew . In trying to source one 2nd hand, I cant find my particular part number (in subject) but people a local supplier is saying that the plugs are exactly the same at the back so, for example, he has one with a SD card slot.
My questions are therefore please;
1 Would the stereo be interchangeable with my car and would it recognize it when coded?
2 Does anyone know who actually manufactures the head unit so that I might contact them directly and try and get just the fascia?
3 Failing that, does anyone know the best place where I might source the exact model for my car without having to pay retail prices, i.e. a quality second part.
Thanks all in advance
Sean
