Help needed with getting a aftermarket head unit

I currently have a 2009 CLK 350 with the Harmon Kardon stereo head, with no navigation system. I want to add a navigation system, so I decided to look at after market all in one head units. I came across the Alpine INA-W900BT, but I am willing to utilize other comparable units.
1) Can this be done? I called around to a few installers and they said that they do not make a wire harness or deck kit for my make and model.
2) Are there sources where I can get this from?
3) Are there any more accessories that I will need to buy if I plan on swapping out the deck.

welcome to the forum.

use the search function to help answer some of your questions:

yes it is possible. yes its been done by several members

you may also want to read up on the w203 audio section in their sticky, i learned a lot about what i needed to install.

PM jbondox as he works in the car audio industry and a member on this forum about using your current amp and adding a new head unit
some threads to keep in eye out for are v12 and 2mchar's audio thread. i have my own somewhere here.

sonicelectronix.com is a good source for your dash kit

Just a heads up here, the dash kit is very tough to find - the 203 kit DOES NOT fit the 209 without modifications. When I bought my complete system from Sonic (who I highly recommend) I got the dash kit as well, it is not the correct one. Every single kit listed for the 209 is incorrect that I have seen until I was pointed in the right direction.

The only one I know of that is correct for the 209 is from;

Its the one I'm using and thanks to MBWorld member gretch (also using it) for sourcing it out.
