does anyone know how to route my power wire from the batter into the interior thorugh the firwall? specifically for the clk320 year 2000? i'm planning on buying an amp and sub and need to know how to wire them... thanks!

 

ok after some thinking... i realized that the battery is in the trunk.. perfect! as thats where i'm gonna put subs in.... but then another question come up in my mind... how do u take out the HU? i pulled out the black plastic single DIN thing under the HU b4 and i cannot seem to find anything that releases the HU? any ideas?

 

how bout a set of mercedes keys? You sound like this may be your first install?

 

yes it is my frist install... but i am confident enough to wire things properly... just need to know how to take out the HU w/o breaking the interior... i did work at 2 audio installation place as a career prep student for 2 weeks. so i should a thing or 2...

 

ummm anyone!?!?!? please?!?!? help? i need to know how to pull the headunit out so i can connect the wires?? thnaks!?!!??

 

Wow. You ever think about... I dunno.. SEARCHING THE FORUM????

 

nothing seems to come up tho....

 

There's your answer dude.. you need keys from Mercedes to pull out the stereo. I'm taking bets from anyone here. 5 bucks says this guy either cuts a fiber-optic line or reverses the polarity of the speaker wire he cuts. Isn't the amp in the trunk for this car anyway?

 

u know... these posts ain't helping much at all... forums r suppose to ask questions and get answer so people like me can learn.... and not abot dissing and makeing fun of noobs.... thats y i joined a benz specific forum to ask questions that i need answers to...

 

Wish I could help, sorry about all the less than helpfull answers, some people just like to be rude instead of helpfull. Send an email to someone that knows a lot about this. His forum name is Scorchie and he is usually quite helpfull.

 

alright thanks for ur help... but i've managed to pull the deck out with some tools and not breaking anything.... now the hard part... anyone has wiring diagrams? i've searched the net googleds it and nothing comes up.... the model is CM 1910... it's for a CLK320 year 2000... thanks!


and also... jello2594... if i ain't wrong.... benz b4 2003/04 don't come with fiber optics... only 04 and after uses fiber optics... and i alos managed to pull out the deck w/o any of those MB keys...

 

OK, I'll apologize for being a jerk in the posts I made to your queries, but...

Seriously.. you need to go to a stereo installation place.. You're asking a question with every step of the installation. After you get a wiring diagram, are you going to post a question about cutting the wires? Then a post about running wires the trunk? Perhaps, after that, a post about how to set the gain on your amplifier?

Honestly, you didn't need to take out your head unit. If you wanted, you could have spliced off the speaker wires in the trunk area for your rear speakers... does you car have speakers in the rear deck lid?

 

everything's done AND working great now.... pics will be posted soon...
