1999 s320
New Head Unit

I have a 1999 s320 and my radio is just falling apart. I first used the cd player to play my music but it stopped working about 1/2 year ago, so I than bought a cassette adapter and after my purchase I found out my cassete player is broken. There are buttons falling off and it would just make more sense to me to buy a new head unit rather than spend the same amount of money on a used one for my specific model. So I was wondering if there are any newer head units out there like JVC OR Pioneer that I could buy that have auxillary inputs or usb inputs that fit my existing stereo system which is Bose. When I look on Crutchfield.com I enter my information of my car and it claims that the radio fits my car but I am unaware of wheter I need to buy wiring harnesses etc. I need to know what kind of radio to buy and what internals to buy. Thank you for your time

I'd call Crutchfield and talk to a sales tech. They have a very deep understanding of mods like this.

just take it to your local professional shop, crutchfield screws up euro vehicles all the time. they tell you one thing and it is another, or it doesnt work/sound like you would think it would. Alpine over JVC and especially pioneer. cde-145bt is a great unit
