It all depends if you want the looks or the best sound, go for oe for looks, aftermarket for better sound quality + blutooth, DVD Sat Nav etc...

Your Mercedes
SLK32 AMG
They also sound rubbish and have a pretty dire GUI, the latest ones have a nicer front end, but as soon as you delve into browsing tracks or contacts it looks like it is being driven by a ZX Spectrum!



My choices would be....


£300
App Radio, if you have an iPod, even better if you have an iPhone or Android phone.

Clarion VX402E Nice little double din unit.

Sony XAV601BT - This is like the app radio but works with mirror link, so Nokia phones and the Galaxy S3. Looks quite nice and meant to sound OK too.

£400

Clarion NX302E - Mechless doubin din media and nav. No cd drive like the App Radio, but who uses CD anyway?

Pioneer AVH-4400BT - Another media player but with the advanced app mode as well.
Gives you a CD/DVD player as well, at the expense of a smaller screen. Also not as clean looking as the app radio.



£600

Pioneer F940BT - Pioneers new App radio with built in nav.

Clarion NX502E - Nice media unit and it has nav, it adds a CD/DVD player as well over the 302E but it also has far more features like more audio outs, better amps, customisable display colours, better EQ etc. etc.

Hi GIZZE, You sound like you know your stuff on car audio, i am looking to replace mine in my SLK, its a single din, what im looking for is something that is plug and play no wire changes, sounds good has a iphone plug and a SD slot not bothered with Nav, Ive been looking but the choices drives you mad and i have not got a clue from a good one to bad one.
Want to pay around £300

Any info for meso i can have a look on line would be appreciated
