According to this press release:
http://www.chrysler.com/inside/news/crossfire.html
the Crossfire "combines American design with German engineering."
I am not surprised.
Hell, they even say in that article that they will bulid the Crossfire in Germany.
Ahh... According to the specs page: 3.2L 18-valve V6 engine, 215hp, 229lb-ft torque. That sounds a whole lot like the current Mercedes 320 engine. Ooh, it has ESP (Electronic Stability Program), just like modern Mercedes-Benz cars. Hell, compare the dimensions of the SLK320 to the Crossfire. They're almost identical (within 1 inch on wheelbase, front track, rear track).
DaimlerChrysler is simply continuing its evolution into a giant worldwide dominating automobile company. Just thank God it's Chrysler becoming Mercedes instead of the other way around.

Oops. Now I realize that you realized this all already. I got a little carried away, I think.
Anyway, the radios are probably interchangable (electrical signals don't care what color the plastic surrounding them is painted).

Actually all of that componentry - not just the radio looks like it came from MB.
The climate control dials look like the semi-automatic controls fitted to MBs in Europe.
Look at the way the switches bellow the radio are laid out - seem familiar? Even the hazard light switch looks very..err..familiar.
