The metra# 99-8711 is for the '01-04 models, don't use that kit...

Metra also has the #99-8712 (designated for c-class, but can also accommodate the clk and slk) Interestingly enough they also have a 99-8713 for the slk (but is doesn't list compatibility with c-class) I don't see why it wouldn't be interchangeable if the #8712 is (perhaps someone else could shed some light..?!?), but with the 8713 they have option for 2-din while the other kit doesn't have additional plate provision for this.

Just thought I'd let you know.
