Yes i have to . Its really great . I have added a front facing camera and rear view camera . One thing though if you have bose or karmen system you will need to get an extension cable to tie into the speakers or get an aftermarket Amplifier . You will lose the oem subwoofer since it only has 4 channels . I added a 5ch amp in the trunk and i used Rcas and ran them to the back .it runs all 4 channels and the subwoofer. If you need help with install let me know i will be glad to help . BTW there is an updated one with Android 5.1 link is below
I recently put a new system in my car that only supported 4 channels. An easy fix to get the sub back is to buy a mono that will run the sub. In my CLK 320 it was a Bose sub. I used a Kicker 42PXA2001 and fuse tapped it into an open slot on the rear SAM (H/T to Rodney for this one). Since the Bose sub was something crazy like .5 ohm this little amp was perfect. Really small so I lost no space in my cabrio. If you don't want to run all new wiring for power and what not this may be a good option.
I did a complete system , headunit , speakers , and amp. It was pretty simple to do . I added component in the front 6.5 inch and 2 way for the rear 6.25 . It's better to run the power front the battery just in case there is an issue . You don't want to blow up your sam. It's really easy and simple. Open the hood and remove the battery there is a grommet there that will fit 4 or 8 gage wire fitting through it. You can open it up if you want to put in a 0 gauge . Then remove kick panel ,rocker cover and 2 bolts under rear seat cushion. There is a channel to run the wire through the trunk and your done . Then run your rcas on the driver side . Same way you did the on the passenger side . It lottery took me about an hour to do. If you do a seach on my posts I did a diy . If you got a bit more to spend get some new speakers and 5 ch amp and it will sound amazing . For GPS to work without Internet you will need use offline maps . Some units will come with a memory card and the navigation pre installed . My phone has hot spot so I just use it so I can use waze

Hi Irokstar,
I just read the thread on your install. Looks great. Very useful. However my dash is quite different to yours. Mine is a 2005 I assume yours must be 204 or earlier. I don't think mine will fit or look as integrated as yours does.
That looks like a great unit. I realize you do not sell these, but do you know if any of them interface with the steering wheel controls, and to confirm, they have GPS capability without a cell phone connected?
