http://www.la-mbca.com/arti-headunit.html

So much confusing information both locally and on the web about the MB Bose system and swapping out the HU only. My goal is to keep the Bose because I'm ok with the SQ. What I'm missing is Nav/BT/Handfree, etc. Can anyone comment on this article and the Pac items he lists? Thanks.

Also found this article...basically stating the same thing. I understand that is a different unit but wondering if the harness and adapters are the same.

Yes...the pic of the radio with the red circle/ through it looks like my oem radio. However, The article was about the w208 and the pics in the install section show a different (w208) radio. Still confused.

just take it to your local specialty shop and have them install a radio. I dont expect anyone to read an article look at a few pictures and become an expert on it. Take it to the pro's
