I am awaiting delivery of my 119 Sport Crew van, coming from a car with dab and sat nav looking to get this in the van, but don't really fancy the Becker unit (s/h of course as £500 from MB is ridiculous) as looks a bit old hat. Question I am struggling to get a straight answer to is if I go down the aftermarket HU route will the factory fitted rear camera still work. I see you had this showing on the Audio 15 picture, does it still work with the Pioneer HU you have installed.
The best retrofit out there for W447 Vito/metris (fits perfect no gaps) not cheap though!

Fakra leads and accessories required to retain original camera/usb port etc
leads are d.i.y. or hard to find in the U.K.
pros awesome looking bit of kit
cons expensive ,bluetooth hands free not anywhere near as good compared to original (i.m.h.o ,why i never went this route this time) since they stopped using parrot chipset.
would set you back £2k+
The Alpine 447 unit is without question the best non Mercedes system that instegrates with the exisitng controls/wiring.
It needednt cost £2k either. It can be installed for less
get my number from SophieThanks for popping to Northside today and allowing Sophie to pick your brains. What DAB solution did you go for, how simple was it to install. I like the integration direct into the HU. Photos Sophie sent me don't show the tweeters for the front components, where did you locate them? Thanks Paul

Exciting signed the paperwork today, van should have been with the dealer yesterday but sat at the port awaiting transportation. Should be ready next week as not expected till Friday now and needs the leather fitting. Probably going to wait till the week after till the schools are off as promised my lads they can come with me to collect. Think they are more excited about getting a van than I am.
