W203 2003 C200 K HELP INSTALL AFTERMARKET RADIO

Hello to everyone, this is my first post after the presentation,and I apologize for my bad english
google translate help me ...
I was going to replace in to my W203 (year 2003) sedan C200 Kompressor imported from Japan here in Paraguay, the
Japanese version alpine CM1010 factory radio (bad fm range frequency) with a single DIN aftermarket Pioneer with
bluetooh handsfree, aux-in and keeping steering wheel controls. I would point out that the current system has a
factory D2B optical fibre CD-changer 6 CD MC 3010 in the gloves box that I imagine is connected to the radio via
fiber optic. First of all, I ask for help to you for understand, first to disassemble the radio cm1010, if my
system has the BOSE system or not because I have counted the speakers and its are 7 in everything:
2 Tweteer at the corners above the side ventilation fins
2 Speakers in the front doors
2 Speakers in the rear doors
1 Speaker (woofer?) In the rear hatch
I did not see any Bose writing on the loudspeaker grids but the number (7) makes me doubt ... or is it wrong?
This is to understand what elements to buy for intall the pioneer radio.The system currently works perfectly and
has a very clean and crystalline sound.
My questions are:

1) it's possible to keep the CD-CHANGER and connect him at the aftermarket Pioneer through some adapter (type D2B
decoder) in to aux-input? If yes, brand and model?
2) what interfaces, brand and model, I have to buy to maintain the steering wheel and handsfree commands via the
pioneer and what Pioneer 1 DIN model recomend for me?


Last question ... comes out a spiral cable from under the radio dashboard on the right hand side with a strange
connector with Japanese writing but i do not understand if it is connected internally to the radio ... you know
what type of cable is it?
I try to attach some photos of both the stereo and cable and also the VIN that might be helpful to decode the type
of BOSE or not. VIN is WDB2030421F400052
I would like to thank all those who want to help me and apologize for the spelling!
Good evening
P.S.
Here in Paraguay most used machines are imported from Japan ...
Paolo from Paraguay
