CD radio

Quite a few have fitted chinese units, search on here, possibly audio upgrade as the search term. Erisin brand is often mentioned.
 
Just fitted Erisin with DAB+ unit in my 2005 W203 - quite straight forward.

looks very nice, did you have to buy the extra cable for the sound, if you have fibre optics.
 
I don't have any fibre optics, install was straight forward, everything was in the box. trickiest bit was fitting the reverse camera as I went for one built into the number plate light so had to drill a hole big enough to put a RCA connector through without damaging anything.

Couldn't you have cut and soldered the cable or did you have to drill a hole regardless?
 
@Rorywquin - I used a camera/reverse lamp lens all in one (pic attached) so the wire had to go through the back of the reverse lamp holder. As far as I could tell from feeling around the holder is enclosed at the back (inside the boot lid) apart from the loom connector so a hole had to go through the metal anyway. I'm not competent with cutting wires and soldering (yet) so a hole was made big enough to take the RCA through to the space between the boot lid and liner. If I could of cut the lead and re-soldered it would have been a smaller hole admittedly.

Yes, I think optics are only on the upgraded systems such as the Harmon Kardon. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please :dk:
