Replacing the cassette player

with an OEM CD player is possible.

Check out the new Pioneer products -- http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w210...-2010-ces.html

I'd also recommend looking Crutchfield's website -- and talking w/ one of their customer service guys.

I put Alpine Ipod controllers in both of my cars and don't regret it.
I think this is the way to go nowadays.
You can also change the color to Red to match the interiior of the car.

Many current-generation head units do allow changing illumination color. I think the new Pioneers allow something pretty close to what we have oem.

If you are planning to install yourself, I definitely recommend close attention to info in the Stickeys here and working w/ Crutchfield. You may want to re-install the factory unit if/when you turn the car over, so a careful installation is to be valued.

Best match IMO is Nakamichi CD400 or CD500.

Nakamichi went bankrupt a few years ago. Someone owns the name and makes some stuff... Both the above models are still available, but very much older generation gear. I would stay away, personally -- although, yes, they match the "look" pretty well.
