Hi,
I need some advice... I have an C Class 2002 W203 (Pre-face lift, I think) that has the factory fitted BOSE audio 10 system.
What I'm trying to find out is if I can remove that unit and fit a double DIN sat-nat/DVD unit off Ebay. From what I can see, the unit will fit the dash, but I'm not sure about the connections to the car... speaker wires/ISO plugs/ etc. There also appears to be some sort of optic cable running to the back of the car into some sort of amp/booster.
Also, it would be nice if the steering wheel controls and dash display would work with the new unit.
So my questions are:
1. The following ebay link is the unit I'm interested in. Will it work in my car?
Newest 2 /Double Din Indash Car DVD GPS Nav TV iPOD PIP on eBay (end time 01-Mar-10 06:50:15 GMT)
2. Will I need some sort of CAN BUS interface for this unit?
3. If this unit won't work, is there a similar unit out there that will?
I don't have a big budget for this... maybe upto £500 for the whole project, so if there is anyone out there who has done something similar then I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks guys
