I've pretty much gotten the message that in order to improve the sound in my '99 CLK one of the first things to go is the stock head unit. Problem is I don't like the looks of most of the aftermarket units out there -- too much chrome and blinking disco lights. So I'm looking at the Becker 4602, which has a built-in single CD player, has an AUX IN option for my iPod and integrates well into the interior of the car. So here's my question: Will the 4602 be a step up from the stock unit soundwise since it's a branded M-B unit that the dealer sells? By the way, I do plan on replacing the Bose amps and speakers in the future

The fact that its a CD player alone will improve the sound. Most stock head units don't have a high enough output voltage. And I find that at higher volumes the stock deck will distort and clip.
