2003 CLK 320 Cabriolet (W208) radio replacement.

I'm thinking about replacing the factory radio with an Alpine unit from Crutchfield and using their module that retains the steering wheel radio functions.

https://www.crutchfield.com/g_300/Al...FFBrand|Alpine Click on the installation gear for a description of the installation kits available. I'd be buying the one that supports the steering wheel controls.

Has anybody done this with the Crutchfield components?

If so would you mind sharing your experience. Ease of installation, any problems with wiring, etc.

The CLK320 i purchased came with an aftermarket double din radio with USB, SD, AUX, CD and backup camera and remote control.
I looked at the manufacture website and they make double din.

According to their website the latest models can handle steering wheel controls.

It not the greatest radio but all functions on mine works fine including the reverse camera with distance warning as well.
