My car didnt come with the bose system, so I never looked in to it.
If I remember correctly, you need to bypass the amp in the trunk. Try doing a search. I dont think that it is all that difficult to do the bypass.

AVIC D3 with compatible Steering Wheel Controls?
I can't find any info on steering wheel adapters compatible with the 2006+
I'm looking at installing the AVIC D-3 with the iPod a C230 2006, there are many steering wheel adapters but I just can't confirm that they work with the 2006 and newer models.
Crutchfield sells this: PAC SWI-PS - Pioneer and Sony (manufacturer's site www.pac-audio.com)
There is this PIONEER CA-R-PI.131 as well but it doesn't say that it's compatible with the 2006.
If someone ever finds a Steering Wheel adapter for the AVIC D-3 that is compatible with the 2006 C230 please let me know.
All I want is to be able to control iPod playlists, change to CD, DVD or/and Navigation and control volume with the steering wheel on a C230 2006 with the AVIC D3.
By the way, I went to the local dealer that installs super high quality stereos and they said that the AVIC D3 would not fit on a 2006. Huh??
