Yes but you have to change all of the units that is has. Navigation system is the biggest as it changed in 2003. The HVAC controls as well. Basically you want the interior to look post face lifted instead of pre face lifted. You will also need to find the matching wood bezel as well.

the only thing that makes me wonder is center button connections.

Check and see if everything is plug and play. If not then you will need the new harness adaptors.

I think the buttons changed networks And are not interchangeable but someone more experienced will know. One generation used d2b and one used MOST if i remember correctly

the wiring coming off of these top row of control buttons seem fairly simple, i doubt there is any special kind of setup for retrofitting facelift buttons, i think it would mostly be plug n play after doing some splicing. it seems most of the switches have two wires, and any switch that has a light has three wires..seems fairly straight forward. would love to know more as i want to also upgrade someday

these cars are more fun with ESP turned off anyways
thanks for the info, ill definitely add the facelift retrofit to my list of things to-do on my car. my wood trim for the center console is one of the favorite i have seen for w215/220 but it has some cracks in the clearcoat, plus my 2002 radio/nav is outdated and the screen is developing a strange tarnish that ive not been able to remove

hey guys i responded on facebook but not sure you'll see it
today i picked up the 2003 radio and center console, do you remember how to wire up the top row of buttons? mine didn't come with any harnesses so i will have to hardwire my connections
