I own a 2001 ML320 and I'd like to replace the factory audio system with something a little more up-to-date.

I really know nothing about cars but I'm very much interested in enhancing the entertainment options within my vehicle.

I've been reviewing a few sites and I've seen many different GPS / Radio / DVD models that would be a great replacement. The only problem is getting the right product and finding a way to install the new equipment.

For your convenience, I have attached a picture of my existing radio.

I'm not sure how easy it will be to replace the radio myself. But I did find a tool on EBAY that can be used to at least remove it:

So, here are my questions:

#1. What are the dimensions of my existing radio and what are my replacement options? Basically, the replacement I want is a 2-DIN and the dimensions are: W: 178 mm H: 100 mm D: 160 mm (with front panel: 180 mm). Does that match? If not, what should I be looking for? And where is the best website to look for replacement radio for my car?

#2. How difficult is it to replace radio systems? Should I get a professional? Sounds like a stupid question since I already acknowledged that I'm not too familiar with cars, but wanted some opinions on the level of difficulty.

Apparently I used 2 questions to ask about 10 so I'm hoping someone out there is able to help me.

Many thanks in advance for your assistance. Happy Holidays!

I would be interested in the answer to your question as well.

Tetsa,

I replaced my factory system with a standard 2-DIN system and it has been working well for years. If you were to purchase any 2-DIN system, you should be fine.

I got a professional to do the installation. I'm in NY so I was able to find someone from a local car audio garage to install for about $90.

Can you attach a link for the stereo that you used for your ml320
