W203 c200k coupe stereo change

[jamesmatthews]

Hi, I have been reading through the forums and I get the general idea that changing the head unit over to an aftermarket one is a bit of a pain in the bottom when dealing with the canbus system...
What sort of problems would I expect to encounter?

Thanks for the advice, james

I wouldn't say it's a problem, there are can bus adaptors so you can use your steering controls for most aftermarket radios, I recently did this on my 2005 clk.
