You should be just plug it using the existing wire from your current head unit
but I will suggest you to have the professionals to install it.
Let me know if you are interested.

Can anyone else confirm that it's just a harness swap? Will it even fit?

I am sure it will perfect fit. I used to have the 2003 Silver E500 Sports.
As for the installation, i will suggest you find a local audio place that have experience with Mercedes. They should be able to install that for you.

I am only selling both devices. Younshould
be able to connect it using your factory cables.
Or I will suggest u to have the professional install it.

Now a 2007 E350 4matic
Nav Fit

If you check the Audio forum, there's several step-by-step listings with pictures showing how to retrofit the Navigation unit.

The Splitter is for the Satellite Antenna signal.. it IS required.. it replaces an antenna junction located on the top left panel behind the carpeting, near the trunk hinge. It splits the Sat antenna between the teleAid and the Nav unit. (even if the tele aid is not active or used, you need the splitter or you'll get errors)

There is also a fiber optic cable that needs to be connected to bring the Nav unit into the MOST network. It's usually located under the rear passenger door sill or in the C Pillar.

I did retro fit on an 03 E320. Since the side carpet panel wasn't available anymore, I mounted the Nav unit under the rear shelf.

You'll also need the Navigation Disc
Installation was fairly easy.. took about 2 hours.
