But I don't understand! How come the Alpine Unit is such ****? Arn't they a good company? Or it just doesnt fit with MBs car for some reason?

Yup. In my area there are some stations where the HU sounds like it forgot to turn on the deemphasis signal. Plus, if I remember correctly, the Audio10 CD has +/- 12 dB Bass/Treble control range whereas the std HU over here is thought to only have +/- 6 dB.

does the cassette audio 10 have a keypad for the phone on it? Also, if the c class comes with no radio standard when u buy the car, what is there in its place... blank panel?

No there is no key pad. I don't think its compatible with the phone.

What do you mean no radio standard? Then there will be one large hole in the center console.

It is compatible with the phone.

And if you go to the Germany build your own site you will find that you can order your own factory HU or not. Another option they also have is prewiring whereby the factory install the speakers, antena, wiring, etc but not the HU.

I had my Audio 10 cd installed last night and must say that the sound quality is definitely better. I'm still not sure if there's quite enough bass for my taste, but it's much better than before.

I did have an incident shortly after the install where the cd player seemed "frozen" and would not put out any sound from the cd changer or radio, but I turned off the car and turned it back on and everything was fine...not sure if that's a common problem.

Good to know you saw an improvment. Oh I mean there is always room for bass! But Good enough for now.
