Unhappy Alpine IVA-w505 + Steering wheel module?

I just bought an Alpine IVA-w505 from USA , and in 2 - 3 weeks should arrive. I just want to know what steering wheel module should i buy and from where.
I have a 2002 Mercedes C220 CDI and i also want to know what is CAN-BUS and if i have can-bus or it is just on 2003 C Class and newer. I really don't know what module should i buy for my w203.
Please help!

I'm installing a ixa-w407 right now. The 2 units I'm using are the:
SWI-JACK from Pac-Audio and PESWICAN from Peripheral. I little bit of wiring, and a little bit of programming. The steering wheel buttons work great!

A little bit of additional info: if you install the Peripheral PTR7, you can use all the functions of your 505 while driving.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot for the information! It really helps me.
But please tell me if i the steering wheel button will work without the PESWICAN , or i need to buy both of them?
(it's no money problem , the problem is that i can't find anybody that ships to Romania from America, and i can't find in europe any of these modules)

thanks!

PS: I see that are two versions of SWI-JACK. Which one should i buy? The newer one?

I'm pretty sure you need both of these units.

Either of the SWI-JAK's should work
