Need a quick & dirty answer for command headunit upgrade

I have a 2003 e500 w crappy Audio 50 headunit. What is the quick answer for command headunit upgrade.
I really only want it for the Aux input. using the rest of the system fiber amp.
I dont care about bluetooth, or Nav. I use cellphone for Nav.

Saw multiple video on youtube & they seem really simple install.
are there Lock codes to deal with?

Ebay have command radio pretty cheap now. what year headunit can I get for simple install? Thanks.
