Installing a new CD player, possible?

Hey guys. I was going to upgrade my CD player and was wondering where to get a wiring harness and stuff? Is it hard to install in these cars? Anybody have a link to how to install an aftermarket CD player in a CLK? I was thinking about getting this one. I saw it for $1200:



Think it would look pretty clean if I could get it to install.

Talk to Danny (mmgrad). He installed a double DIN, touchscreen Eclipse DVD head unit with navigation in his 430.

I've got the same radio...

the most difficult part in installing a double din is sawing away at the metal plate that divides the two slots. If you are interested in the touch screen functions of that radio...I would definitely recommend finding a shop that has one powered up on display before hand. It's a nice looking unit, but I was definitely unimpressed with the touch screen capabilities. (For example....you have to hit actual buttons on the side of the radio which will bring up the touchscreen commands and then you can use the screen to control the functions. Other units I've seen only require the user to touch the screen for the functions to come up, but this one you have to touch actual buttons on the radio first)

The DIN divider on CLK's is plastic not metal - pretty easy to cut with a dremel or small saw ;0)
