Yes there are two interfaces from two different vendors.
First is http://www.car-interface.com/product...hp?id=6&mode=4 and second is http://www.punch-video.com.tw/produc...at=16&topage=2. Both are compatible with W204. Also the installation procedure is different for both.

I like to buy one kit with everything (DVD, Rear Camara, GPS and TV), but they never answer the emails. I found one interface in ebay but it more expensive. you paid $175 for the interface and ebay is $460

No RCA means no rear camera? no dvd?
A different HU must be bought for DVD and rear camera and possibly a different UMI for such HU. This comes no where below 3k USD.
On above, a star diagnosis has to be carried which only a MB dealer will do or any other certified star diagnosis delear, but still voids the warranty, atleast in my region. Correct me if I am wrong.
I would prefer going for MM Command retrofit with 7" screen instead of this UMI.

good point..
anyway you still save buying the china stuff for $400 as opposed to teh UMI for $800 odd...
but installation is tricky - something i would not try on my 3 month old w204!!

C230 W204 with C63 Kit Package
Need Help for Installation
Finally got all the bits and pieces. I tried to install this last weekend and not succeeded. The unit won't fire up the screen. I suspect I missed something on power wiring.
@W204Maniac: Need help here...do you still remember where to connect ACC and IR16 to?
So far I got these (All other than the Multimedia are ebay stuffs):
Which are consisting of
1. Multimedia Interface
2. Backup camera (plug n play to license plate backlit)
3. DVB-T digital TV receiver with dual antenna
4. iPod interface (awaiting replacement, this one came with wrong connector)

c200k se
Unless my eyes are decieving me i think this is the same aftermarket system that my local merc dealer is selling with there vehicles....they even had a red w204 sport in the showroom fitted with the kit as a demo car. They placed the unit in the glovebox. i think it was also connected to the 5" screen.

Post some pictures of installation and working product if possible.

Not Audio Only Video
I tried to install a video interface in my C350, but after many tries, only the video was on, the audio never was listen, do you have any trouble shooting to find the problem?

How do you switch between then two interfaces?
The buttons(Tel, Radio and others )on the head unit are working properly after installing this interface?
