Question I need suggestions for a good replacement Radio

Hi all,

I have a 2004 CLK 320 and I got it as an import from Japan and it has a Japanese head unit and unfortunately the TV and Radio do not work because the frequencies supported in Japan are different than the ones in this country. The head unit is fully functional however, I want something more modern that supports apple car play but at the same time doesn't ruin the look of the car and maintains the sound quality, can anyone suggest a good head unit for me?

Thanks!

W209 CLK 240
Purely my opinion but I always think modern head units look awful in older cars. My '03 CLK came with some all singing, all dancing Pioneer single DIN in place of the original unit. I just couldn't get on with it so bought a refurbished unit from these guys

Original Audio 10 but with added Bluetooth. Depending where you are in the world price could be prohibitive though.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for replying, that's a problem for me too I do not want to ruin the way the car looks from the inside and I do need apple car play because I do not want to put a phone mount that will ruin how the car looks,

What do you think about this https://www.seicane.com/hd-touch-scr...o-link-s086007

Look for one with at least 4GB of mem or it will run slow. Erisin is one company that makes them
