Alpine iVA W205? Not a 505? The 505 looks like a direct fit without a dash kit. For the harness adapter, it's the red and yellow wires. In a CLK, yellow supplies switched power and the red supplies constant. Those are swapped in most other cars. The harness adapter is about $12. Mine was free from Crutchfield.
