For those who want a new headunit without sacrificing steering wheel controls...
for those who want a new headunit to replace the stock MB ones, here is something new that Alpine came out with that still enables you to use Speed-Control and steering wheel controls...Very neat, it shows it installed on a new C-Class...

I Have that speed sensitve crap. And it sucks. on the bose you cant have it changed, but on the regular you can from the dealer.
Since i have my sub it keeps lowering and highering the volume it sucksplain and simple.
So if this headunit works i hope it eliminates

Ive got the BOSE system, I like it actually. Its nice not having to reach for the volume when you slow down or stop with the windows and roof open. The unit could use some more Bass, but that's only a subwoofer away and after putting in the 6 disc, the CD's definately have more bass than the cassette or radio did.

Those of us with Bose have two volume adjusting items. One is the speed sensitive volume. It has four settings 0, -3, -6, and -9. 0 is off. The diagnostic domputer can be used to change the settings. The second is the Bose AudioPilot digital processing which helps compensate for unwanted ambient noise with no perceived change in audio volume.

hey lynn if you dont mind. You think you have the directions on how to do this. Because the dealers are very dumb when it comes to this.

Looking at the pic of the Alpine, it looks like they have to remove the button console directly above the stock headunit. How does that work?

Do the stereo dealers know how to integrate an aftermarket Alpine to the steering wheel controls? I called a couple of them up and nobody knew how to do it.
