I've got an '08 W211 with the basic single CD/Radio that I'm looking to replace with a 2 Din Nav unit, maybe a Pioneer AVIC-F30BT.
Pioneer list a model specific fascia kit, but the instructions here...
http://www.pioneer.eu/files/eur/car_acc_db/fascia_plate/391190-28.pdf
... say that the compartment under the radio can't be used if the OEM Head unit is replaced.
Does anyone know why this is the case? Is it because it's got a powered door and uses a connection to the OEM unit to open/close it, or is it because there's not enough clearance for it to work with a 2 DIN unit fitted?
