Greetings everyone,
I have not been able to find any concrete information for replacing my dying stock Radio/headunit in my '02 E240T wagon with the Bose Sound system. I have the headunit with the cd player, no multi cd changer is installed that I am aware of. I looked under the dashboard, in the glove compartment and in the trunk.
I am located in Germany and have looked at a store online and they state that I would need the following items
The radio I would like to buy
JVC KD-R981BT
Adapter for the Bose System (seems to be rated at 4x20 watts from what I read on Amazon)
Aktiv-Adapter für Mercedes Benz
The Can Bus adapter for the steering wheel
Lenkrad-Interface -Mercedes --> JVC ( 42-1190-901 )
I would like to buy whatever would be needed to retain as much functionality of the steering wheel, sound quality and Bose System as possibility but also the ability to add an aftermarket amplifier or two and speakers/subs at a later time.
I have found this youtube video where another guy has the bose system, he seems to have gotten it to work but the Bose adapter has adjustment levels.. I don't live in the US anymore so using crutchfield would not be possible to use the parts and he has an E320 model (not sure if this makes a difference).
Sorry for my long post and if you need anymore information, please let me know.
Below is a photo of the headunit that I want to replace.
