Hi Guys - just showing off some pics of the aftermarket JVC unit I installed in my 2007 CLS63. I kept the HK Amp and hooked it all up to MOST and still have steering wheel controls. I have yet to hook up the FM antenna but I'm in no rush as I really don't listen to radio anyways. When I do the antenna I will also do the backup camera and possibly add a dashcam or front bumper cam (maybe both as the JVC unit allows for 3 cameras).
I installed the JVC supplied MIC which I wired up to the rear view mirror area to keep things clean. I also installed the GPS antenna that came with JVC unit as supposedly CARPLAY will not work without it.
This JVC unit has wireless CARPLAY but I still routed the USB cable under the center console and into the arm rest area.
