i am thinking of upgrading my 2002 center console to the 2005 look. i have everything (2005 standard CD HU, AC control, & flash buttons) the new ac control and flash buttons have the same connections as the2002 model. but the new CD HU connection plug is very different. I was wondering if anybody adapted the 2002 plug to be able to connect the 2005 CD HU. and do i need any code to program the radio
thank you

you would have to change the wiring and system for your car, DB2 vs MOST i believe.

short answer - no, it's almost impossible to do.

azazel

what would i need to do so if possible, and can it be done relatively easily,
and if you could give me a link to more refrences about DB2 and MOST that woul be very helpful.

search for sunil or ask him

azazel

to be more specific i wanna be able to connect one MB radio instead of another why should this be so complicated, below are the pictures of the back side of the 2 radios

It would be cheaper and MUCH easier to buy a new car.

valexv

why so complicated, because we promised you a "Mercedes-Benz!"

azazel

thank you guys for your help, if it's this complicated of course i won't do it, but i thought it would be much easier.
anyway i guess i'll just have to live with it

I have had a few people asking me about converting from d2b to most system found on 2005 C class cars. IT is a lot of work and a lot of parts. here is a link to my car with some info in case anyone was interested.

You must have the patience of a saint! Along with a garage and another car to use in the interim. Either way, very impressive work. You probably know more than all the techs at my dealership combined.

thanks for the compliments

I see you haven't posted in a year, but maybe you will check in again. It's a shame this like is broken, since it seems to have a lot of hard to find information about the media network system. I wonder if you could make this available again to the community?
Thanks.
