Can anyone confirm, will this:

XTRONS Optical Fiber Decoder Box for Mercedes-Benz CL / CLS / E / S / SL / SLK Series | caraudiopoint.co.uk

allow me to fit and aftermarket head unit while retaining the use of the current fibre optic amp? Currently have a Comand NTG1. Or do I need something more like;

For that kind of money you'd be better doing the usual method of running cables to the boot, where the speaker connections come together, bypassing the MB amp altogether and putting a decent traditional amp in.

The MB speakers are meant to be half decent if driven better.

Did you ever get round to fitting either of these two products? I am contemplating the same project. Cheers
