All I have to say is . What an improvement! The bass by itself is worth the money. The Clarity and quality has also improved significantly. I am very satisfied with this upgrade! I will try to get some pictures tomarrow. Thanks for everyone for the recommendations! Also big thanks to Jay for installing!

enjoy the bass

Guest0001

Thanks bro,

Pleasure doing business!

Guest0001

All right after extensive listening with various kinds of music for a few hours I have to say I am very impressed! The Bass is deep and the clarity of the sound is superb. I can't believe why MB would put that POS alpine unit in our cars! I went from listening to music in my car for about 30 min to over an hour or two! This is easily the best upgrade I have ever done. Period.

What's an Audio 10?

Guest0001

Where is amdeutsch when you need him?

Lynn

It is an optional cd player headunit not sold in North America.

Buellwinkle

Actually it comes both ways, cassette or CD.

Lynn

I know, but how many people want to buy the cassette version?

Buellwinkle

Don't know, I really thought about getting the Audio 10 Cassette because I already have the CD changer, I would get better sound then the Audio 30 cassette and I can likely modify it to have AUX-IN using the tape input for my sat receiver.

where did u get urs and how much did u paid for it?

is the cassette version cheaper??

Buellwinkle

Sure the CC (cassette) version is cheaper, you can probably find one for under $100 euro on www.ebay.de . There's 2 now for 1 euro and nobody has bid on them. Just search german ebay for Audio 10 CC W203.

Guest0001

I got it from a member here for 200 bucks! What a bargain!

Brunelleschi

I don't really understand why MB doesn't just just make the Audio 10 a part of the standard equipment. Are they really that much more expensive to manufacture?

Brunelleschi

Does anyone know how many posts it takes to be a "Super Member"? I have been a "Member" for a long time now.

amdeutsch

At work.

Thanks for covering for me ED.

Buellwinkle

Because -

A) it probably cost more to buy the radio from Becker than source the current radio from Alpine
B) they want to sell more overpriced CD changers
C) the Audio 10 is not made for the U.S. market, it doesn't have the correct AM tuner and doesn't have marine weather band
D) the Audio 10 doesn't have a 10 key pad for the built in phone system
E) the Audio 10 may not interface well with their Sirius tuner they want to sell for $800 some day
F) old people they cater to don't know what a CD is

JeT

Everywhere else in the world it is standard equipment so I don't think cost is really a factor.

Sponger

Noble, does the Audio 10 still work with the steering wheel control, in dash display, and glove box mounted cd player?

Lynn

Yes.

rsyed

not true: here in europe, we pay 500 EUR ( ) for the wiring, the can bus, and the audio 10 cc. The car comes in standard without any radio and can bus!

Guest0001

Yeah I thought the AM station and phone option had something to do with it.

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?
