Researching first Benz
I installed the double din Alpine INE-S920HD nav unit in my 99 E300D, all was good until I installed a backup camera. Took the backup signal from backup light and power from acc or red on HU. I have a problem, when shift to reverse the camera comes on and goes off when I shift, BUT, if I turn my lights on, the camera comes on and stays on. Can't figure out the correct wiring, or why the lights would turn on the camera???

I realize there are numerous threads on w210 double din conversions, but I thought I would share this one with you that I completed last week on my 1997 E320. I purchased the new double din bracket or cage (Part number 2106890916 - Reinforcement for 2000 - 2003 E320 - $30 plus shipping) and new burl wood double din bezel or console (Part number 21068023367400 - COVERING - $243.80 plus shipping) from Parts.com. The new bezel or console had to be ordered from MB Germany, and it comes with seven (7) button holes across the top. Since my old burl wood console only had three buttons across the top (including the emergency flasher button), I had to order four hole fillers or covers for the four extra holes in the new burl wood console (Part number 2026831310 - BLIND COVER - $5.29 each), also from Parts.com - Joe was quite helpful with researching and handling the order. (See photo with blank buttons.) The most difficult part of the conversion was removing the old cage or single din reinforcement bracket. I simply read the threads on how to do the conversion and followed the step by step directions of those who came before me. I owe all of them a big thank you for the great information and directions. With that said, once you get to the actual single din bracket, be patient and persistent, it will come out. If I had it to do over again, I would probably remove my glove box, as suggested in some of the threads. This might make it somewhat easier to remove the single din cage and install the new double din one.
