2000 CLK 430
Factory Stereo
Has anyone upgraded their factory stereo? And what brand?
Does Mercedes sell a better stereo for the CLK 430?
I like the features that the factory stereo gives (like the volume on the steering wheel,etc).

I upgraded to a alpine xm radio single cd changer head unit, zapco competition amp and focal utopia speakers. Lost the steering wheel controls, but it sounds about 5000 times better.

Hey Byip25,
Did you keep the speakers in your doors?
Thanks

What should I expect to pay for a similar setup as yours?
Thanks

I just recently had my front right door mid and tweeter stop working.
MB service center swapped radios and tested the individual speakers which worked correctly; however, the problem still remains. They have a new amp on order to see if the amp is the problem.
And clues?
