Question Can u fit a double din unit to a C32?

Ok I am looking into the purchase of an 02 C32 AMG. I currently have an Eclipse AVN 2454 Navigation Unit which is a double din unit. Will I be able to install this unit in the C32? Do i just need a fascia adapter where both slots as such are open/empty?
Thanks,
MarK.

Yes MarK, "u" can fit a double DIN stereo into the space for the radio on a W203. The COMAND that comes OEM is double DIN sized (behind the faceplate). "U" don't even really need the "fascia adapter", because it really is just a trim piece to take up the space around the faceplate of a double DIN unit. But you can just get the OEM trim plate, or for inferior quality, any aftermarket one.

Ok cool thanks for the info, do u know how much an OEM trim plate will cost, and am I right in thinking it'll basically just be a surround as such for my newly installed unit - is there a particular madel No. ?
Thanks again,
MarK.
