did the search, can't find anything...
i have a 2002 c230 kompressor
i want to put an aftermarket radio on there.. the problem is finding an aftermarket center trim, it looks like the stock radio is a wierd shape and an aftermarket radio will not fit properly here what i need to know..
1) where to buy the center trim that will keep my aftermarket radio flush?
2) any picture with aftermarket radio already installed?
im putting aftermarket radio because i got the cheap base model stock stereo not the bose one so kind of a upgrade down grade if you will thanks a bunch MBworld you guys are the best

Out Of Control!!
If you had the Bose, you'd want to upgrade, too - it's only a minor improvement, honestly.
I got the Scoche kit several years ago directly from them. Haven't done sh*t with it yet, but it's a 2-din unit (you can get a one-hole dual-din size surround as well) that has a stock finish on it. That's what I would get.

I just thought I'd come back to this thread since I'm getting ready to update my audio system.
I picked up the double-din face place a while ago "just in-case"
I was thinking of going for this:

Did anyone else do anything with the faceplate?
Pictures would be hawt.
