CLS63 Aftermarket Headunit Upgrade

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.


Boot screen

Normal operation screen

USB connection in armrest

MIC above rear view mirror

GPS antenna


What I used:

JVC-KW-M855BW Head unit
Metra 95-8718 Dash kit
Axxess MC90132 MOST interface kit with Steering controls

Still Need:
40-EU10 Antenna Adapter
12ft Antenna cable extension
Backup camera to fit into the license plate light
Front Cam or Dash Cam

Further Audio related upgrades:

Remove the CD changer and place a hidden tray
