Hello I want to fit a branded aftermarket unit pioneer/kenwood. Main reason is USB slot and Bluetooth.
I'm a complete beginner at this so please bear with me:
How easy is it to remove the current unit?
An aftermarket unit will physically slot straight in? The trim surround is my main concern?
Will I need to buy a fitting/wiring kit?
Will the steering controls still work?
Does the 6 disc changer behind the electronic panel remain?
I'm happy with the sound quality of the standard will the aftermarket be too powerful and damage speakers as some have built in amplifiers?
Is Ther a subwoofer fitted now as standard?
I don't want the USB slot to be at the front will look untidy so do I go for a rear USB slot and run a wire Into glovebox for USB stick to sit in?
I'f I put a MP4 on USB will it automatically play on the unit or does it have to have this function built in?
eBay has lots of options, dependant on budget. Any particular model or brand that goes with the Mercedes interior?
Many thanks
