Installing Sony Ericsson handsfree car kit & replacing CD changer with MP3 CD changer

anyone here installed the Sony Ericsson advanced car handsfree kit in their C-class? I got a '03 C320 sedan that I'm thinking of having it installed in.

also, would it be possible to have the CD changer swapped with a MP3 CD changer?

It's easy to change the CD changer, just remove it, get any CD/MP3/DVD changer and attach it to the aux port on your Comand nav system or mod the factory cassette radio to have aux in. You'll have to control it using the control that the CD changer came from and not the steering wheel or HU controls. Haven't figured out why anyone would want to do that when there are such great MP3 players these days. I use my iPod mini through the aux port on my Comand, works out great.

hm, i don't have COMAND. only the stock head unit. unfortunately, we traded for this car off the dealers' lot. *bad mistake, but dad will know in the future*.

mp3 players would be great, but is there a way to hook them up to the regular head unit and control it from there? any links to moddin the factory cassete radio to have aux in?
