Hi guys
First post here, having sold my 3 series and just taken delivery of a CLK 240 cab I was pointed in the direction of this site by another member of www.bm3w.co.uk.
Overall I'm really happy with the car, especially with this weather but have one glaring problem (apart from the rather "sedate" performance and that is the audio. I was unable to test drive a car as I had to order blind before the car was launched, but did test drive a 3 series cab and while the sound was not quite as good as the tin top it was perfectly acceptable. The sound in the CLK though is appalling and a major disappointment. It has an Audio 10 CD with a changer (no COMAND) and, as far as I can tell, 6 speakers all in the doors. So what's the best upgrade route? I don't want to spend a fortune and do want to keep the steering wheel controls so I guess my options are limited. Will improving the speakers help or is the Audio 10 just a poor unit? I will replace the head unit if I can keep the steering wheel controls. What make is the Audio 10? The unit looks rather low tech (Becker?) but the cd changer looks like a standard Alpine with a Mercedes logo on it.
Grateful for any suggestions
Cheers
Andy
