Roxie Rides Great but needs music

[RealistRae]

Hi all,

Soooo I've collected my SLK 230 2001 and love her. First time driving both an MB and automatic and I really don't think ill look back on either :bannana:

The car is fitted with a standard MB CD player. I would love to be able to connect my iPhone/iPod so that it plays through the speakers (possibly with the option to answer calls hands free). Can I have some advice on how best to go about it please? I.e. best system, is fitting difficult, expensive. I don't want to compromise the car in any way.

As always thanks in advance for you help (",)

Best option replace the stereo for an aftermarket with built in bluetooth and ipod connectivity.

I have just had Halfords fit a Sony head unit (Radio/CD) in my runabout Micra. It has bluetooth so plays music from my iphone, and of course receives and makes call hands free and mutes the music automatically.

To answer and end a call its just one push on the volume knob, couldn't be better.

The best of all was the price, £80 for the unit and £30 to fit.

It was difficult to fit, beyond me, the dash had to come out which meant removing windscreen pillar trim. Took them about 2 hours, great value I think.
