Can someone help me figure out if this nav fits my car?

I have been searching for about an hour and was hoping for some help.

I was browsing through Ebay and saw this for sale.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/7-DVD...item23148a3cb2

I have a 2005 C230 Sports Sedan. I think I have the basic radio in my car. It has the phone pad on the right with nothing hooked up to it. I do not believe I have the fiber optic setup but is there a way to tell for sure without removing the radio to match plugs. The last owner of the car messed up the vents up top and they would be a pain to remove and I would need to replace the surround.

Thanks in advance

Your car has MOST fiber optics installed. The system is needed for telephone, satellite radio, premium audio, tele-aid, and six disc cd changer.

The unit on offer is NOT an OEM navigation unit. You would be better off to buy a Nuvi or Tom Tom and slap it on a bean bag on the dash on an ad hoc basis. There are $89 nav units that have more features and do a better job than the OEM nav anyhow.

It cannot fit both c and clk because the dash is different.

If you really want an in dash NAV, look for an OEM unit that supports MOST from a junk yard. The price will be similar to this poor substitute.

Thanks for the info. I am really looking for an OEM unit. I will stay away from this.
