Fiber Optic Adapter?

Has anyone found a fiber optic adapter for a 2008 CLK63 convertible? I keep looking every now and then but so far no luck. Now that there are after market replacements for the head unit like this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Stereo-A...BYMqKQ&vxp=mtr I'd love to swap the outdated head unit in my 63.

Don't know if that will work, but "dang" pricey.

It may be worth a call. Aren't the stereo's the same in all those models?

You must search some posts by skylaw. Consult with him if necessary.

I have some links for Fiber interface adapters on early 2000 Benz but you are likely beyond and close to MOST systems.

Give skylaw a try he is the best in the forums on this matter
