You guys literally saved me the biggest headache! I’ve been asking people on market place who sell aftermarket units about how to go about these and installing and so on , and not one of them knew or wanted to do the job .
So thanx boys this was really helpful
Great job. Very useful!
Appreciate the upload.
Great video, thanks. I bought a different fascia (Ai by PAC MBK102C) but it's a total piece of cr@p. Doesn't fit (way too wide) and had to cut off all the mounting holes. But used the same CHMC1C adapter, and a universal patch lead, steering wheel controls work.
Really great video, especially loved the bit on aligning the radio in the cage. Inspired my husband and son to install a Sony unit in my sons 2009 Audi A3. Everything went like clockwork until it came to sliding in the cage, but after 30 mins of trying it just didn’t fit - seems to be about 2 mm too narrow for the cage. Very disappointing finish to an otherwise excellent afternoon installing, and still not sure what to do. Guess that’s why you pay the professionals
Tracy Cameron How did you go getting it to fit? Do you mean sliding the cage into the Facia? It might be tight but it will 100% fit. You might have to manipulate it every so slightly to make it fit and it might seem that it’s too big but it does fit :)
I was banging my head why am I missing the Orange connector on my quadlock. Thanks for sharing the details regarding the 810 Sound System factory amp option. Helped me!
So the car in the video has the 810 Sound System or not ? I have 810 Sound System, that means everything should be the same as the video ?
You could grind down the back of the facia to make it flush. Rotary tool or a Dremel tool. Good luck!❤
Hi. Great Video. I have a 2005 C180K W203 coupe with an Audio 20 head unit - not Harmon or Bose. I happened to have an older but brand new Eonon G2216 from a few yaers ago - never installed it. It has all and the extras incl SWC support so I do't know if it will need CANBUS or not? I'm just building up the courage to tackle this so I'm doing some research. So, do you know if the existing quadlock connector in the video will be the same on my car and will my model have the optic fibre cable? Any info will be much appreciated. Thanks. Ray
Hi just watched this video please can you tell me will the amplifier still work as I have a Harmon kardon upgrade system in my B class w245 and a subwoofer in the sparewheel. Also what happened to the fiber optic cables where they connected aswell.
Thanks Rajesh. London
Hey guys you mentioned you will leave all the links for the parts used (harnesses etc) can’t find them 😢
The matt surround needs silver carbon fibre wrap to match it up a bit
Since found out that the SWC support in Analogue. Am I right in thinking that my Merc W203 is digital and will therefore need Canbus? Still hoping for a reply. Thanks.
Appreciate the hard work and the upload however the fascia and unit install looks horrible for a Merc. You can install that unit through the back of the fascia you don't need the trim at all and it will look better. You can use the bracket from the old headunit . I bought 3 fascia units and the Metra fits best for me. Once again thanks for the upload and please don't take my personal opinion to personally. Every day it's a school day so.....
Have a great day guys and keep up the good work 💪
Hi,just wired an android head into my 2005 clk and the rear shelf speakers dont work,so i put the stock cd/radio back in and they work.All wired up right wondered if it was anything to do with the fibre optic cable?Think im gonna have to buy a Merc android as im stumped.
What’s the part number for a harness stereo for a 2004 Mercedes Benz clk 500 , Bose fiber optic stereo wires
I have a 2004 Mercedes’ Benz clk 500 , Bose system fiber optic non GPS and uses cd changer in glove box - looks like it uses factory amps - I’m looking to install a after market stereo but can’t seems to find the correct harness or interface online or at a local stereo installer shop - are you able assist me with this problem with a part number or website link ….. thank you
I Have A 03 Mercedes-Benz CLK500, It Has A Factory Amp & Sub ... 2 Speakers In The Door ... I'm Looking For The Proper Radio Harness For My Vehicle
I have a clk 500 2004 will the radio system be compatible with it
Why is the power still on while disconnecting the electrical? Just wondering.
Good morning good people! What size sub is behind that rear seat?
Does this work for the 2008 model with the same satnav system?
I have similar 2005 CLK
My Chinese radio support SWC.
I guess no need for extra module Question is: how can I find Car wire is for SWC buttons ?,.
Hello, what was the part number of the alternative facia? I didn't see it in the description.
Alfi Groove Hello. Jump on www.aerpro.com and put in vehicle details and both will come up :)
My car is Mercedes clk 2005 I want to change the factory radio to android radio.. does the android can change the time the clock on my dashboard too like a factory radio?
How many inches is the tablet you have installed?
I have a 2005 clk 500 with the harmon kardon with fiber optic factory amp. Have you found a fiber optic decoder or any way to replace the stereo
Did you figure out how to replace yours / any good resources
Where you located ??? Google didn’t help a lot, shows a location in London but says temporarily closed.
Is the pink plug the antenna?
I have a quick question please, the dimensions of my head unit is 258x120x240 was that dimensions of the fascia you installed or was the top length 260? Appreciate any advice as want my cd unit ripped out to install a Bluetooth unit
Hi mate! I can’t remember the dimensions. However! If you visit both of these websites 1) www.aerpro.com and 2) www.stingeraustralia.com.au. And put in your car details. You can read all the specs and they will tell you what Facia suits what size OEM radio. So you can get the part numbers and go from there 👍🏽
This one is for 253mm, pre-facelift. It has a "snap out pocket" for double din fitting
aerpro.com/vehicles/mercedes-benz/mercedes-clk-2005-2008#-FP9130
The one he used is for 260mm, that's why it didn't fit properly.
However, this vids has helped me endlessly. Cheers.
Nice job! However i would like to ask something. Didn't use 'fiber optic decoder' stuff? And if you didn't, how the heck you've managed to get sound out of that head unit? :) Since, in forums or sites, people ALWAYS say that, if the car has factory Bose or HK sound system and want to replace the factory headunit with Android or any other branded unit, 'fiber optic decoder' must be used.. I'm a bit confused after watching your video.. Can you help me out with that? Thanks.. :)
hello! So this car did NOT have the fibre optics OEM amp. Just ran of the head unit as you can see speaker wires in the quad lock connector. If your car has fibre optics - merc used 2 systems the “basic” fibre optic system and the HK system. You can get retention modules from connects2 for the “basic” merc system. The HK is much harder. If you have the HK or have any other questions let me know I can point you in the right direction :)
@@TheFittingBay Probably will change the whole system in my car.. Sighh.. whatever.. thanks a lot :)
The Fitting Bay What do you have to do if you have the HK system? I’ve been wanting to install a new head unit but I have the HK system, thanks
Joshua Mathew Need to find a retention module for HK system. I don’t believe there is anything available but there might be.
@@TheFittingBay I have the HK in my car and I recently change the radio to a double din and I have no audio but powers on ?? 2005 Clk 320
Hey man, i just got a boss stereo the other day and was planning on putting it into my 2006 clk 350 coupe but cannot find the harness for everything to work, have any tips? it would be greatly appreciated
Do you have the HK system?
@@TheFittingBay I do and cannot find the harness. Do you have any tips?
@@A_King_Rat any update here? Can’t find any harness either
@@shafi10a yeah you need a fiber optic adapter, just Google it
@thefittingbay my local shop is trying to change me a 1000usd with parts and labor is that correct ?
Hey! Hmm what head unit and what model car is it, does it have factory amp?
I am in canada where can I order this head unit ?
Hi
Nice video
However I hve a question which might not make alot of sense but hopefully you will understand my question.
I'm trying to get my Sony XAV-AX1000 installed into my Mercedes CLK200 2006 which is costing me £99, which should included some of the small equipment needed. However I received a phone call from them letting me know, I actaully have to buy something (can't remember what he said) but it was something he said I need to have for any bluetooth stereo to work in my car, without it, I wouldn't be able to use any. The price of this item though was quoted £240 which just sounds a bit insane considering the actual stereo cost £270. So if you know what he's talking about, any info would be much appreciated.
Probably for the factory amp and it is a fibre optic amp retention part and it aint cheap.
@@TheFittingBay ah ok sounds familiar
Is the fibre optic amp necessary for Bluetooth stereos to work or can I still install them with it?
I’m not good with cars and don’t want them to just make things up to up sell...
Anyone tried fitting a third seat at the back of a clk?
I am located in the US and looking to replace my CLK500 06 head unit, any ideas on where I could get my parts from? Harness and steering wheel controls? Thanks!
John Lech Hi mate! Look up Metra and connects2. Metra should have the Facia kit and Connects2 the steering wheel controls. If you get stuck just comment back and I can help further
@@TheFittingBay thanks for this info! Looks like the only US partner is Enfig and they don't have any Mercedes parts :/ any other ideas??
John Lech Happy to order the parts here and send them to you. Can’t do that for 6 weeks as we are in lockdown. Or you could look up parts in the UK and it’s closer. Happy with either
Nice job how do you control the clock ?
Via steering wheel controls the module allows you to change it
@@TheFittingBay Only if COMAND has been disabled via STAR diagnostics tool.
@@shinjisan2015 Don't think so the module does the work via CAN network. Command is technically disabled when you remove the radio lol
I’m confused! Can you change the clock after og command unit is out?
I don’t have a quad lock all my wires are separated what wiring harness should I get I’m on a budget
I have a 2007 Mercedes E350
Would the installation process be the same for a clk 320?
BruhSoundeffect#4 Bruh Yep
Why not use a DYNAVIN N7 for the CLK? Seamless fit with Mercedes look and feel.
Is that an android unit? Very good option but android units still have a bad rep at the moment so some people don’t want them.
@@TheFittingBay I have it’s sister unit built in my CLS. My wife’s CLK is next. Zero issues so far and I luv the apple CarPlay function on them.
@@wimbraber944 Hey i am interested on the dynavin, due to Lockdown in Germany i have to wait a little to let them install it, but how are your impressions? Especially carplay does everything work? Greetings
Does it integrate with COMAND at all, particularly date/time settings?
@@ilpadrino284 It works like an absolute charm. I had to do one “reset” but that was after a service to the car. Not radio related. CarPlay works really really wel. Also having siri make call works. Also all the buttons on the steering wheel work. And the radio stations are also shown on the centre gauge in the instrument cluster.
Zero complaints.
But I also heard that not all models work as great. So one type may differ from another.
Where are you guys based?
I was wondering on how much did that head unit cost ?
Sony XAV-AX5000 best prices are online :)
Where’d you get the canbus adopter( harness from?.
I have a link
Where are you based
Hey bro I need some help, please reply if you can and ill send email. I bought an xtron android head unit and the harness is wrong. Ill love to chat and maybe you can help me figure out this crap thanks
Can you explain in detail Step 2? Why do you need to get the Step 2 aerpro ISO bit if you have a Sony head unit plug? Confused... Thanks.
Sony (or any other brand) come with the correct power plug but only goes to bare wires - to save you connecting them the step 2 ISO makes it 100% plug and play :)
@@TheFittingBay makes sence now. Thanks for reply man. Stay safe!
If you're going to the trouble of plug and play, why would you cut the step 1 harness to fit the Sony plug when you can just buy the step 2 plugs and keep all the wiring intact.
money save if you smart enough.
Where are you located. I would love to bring my car to you
We are in Melbourne :)
So how do you set the clock as it was done through the Mercedes radio??
in the dash menu
I wouldn’t fit that radio doesn’t look good, at all but good video
What to do when theres no sound?
Did you ever find the answer to this? I tried blue with blue/white; didn’t work. Also tried blue to red; didn’t work either.
@@JonChea I had to order an additional piece for it to work. Thank you
@@danacarney9951 what part?
And that's how you make your mercedes look cheap from inside.
