Hi, I,ve just bought a CLK230 which has the original Audio 10 radio/cd player. I want to replace this with a new radio with bluetooth.
Will the connections behind the old unit fit a new radio or do I have to buy some kind of connection kit. Any advice appreciated

You might have standard ISO connectors, I’d just slide the head unit out and take a look. The removal keys are readily available

The vehicle specific Android units will fit straight in using the supplied cable adapter looms.

I fitted this about 5 years ago.
It has DAB+, reversing cam etc and the more recent ones have Apple CarPlay and Android auto.
With full Android App Store support for Waze, Spotify, BBC sounds you can’t go wrong.
You may find that the stock speakers are completely underwhelming though so will also need replacing.
