Double Din Stereo Upgrade

Decided i'm better off upgrading my head unit in my 2005 G55 rather than trying to hardwire the Parrot bluetooth kit I bought.

Which year C-class shares our dash/electronics components?

Crutchfield doesnt list any dash kits/plug adaptors for the G-class but has plenty of C-class options.

Any help would be appreciated.

Go to the post right below. I've also heard that the android units from EBay are direct fit and plug&play

Should be the same as the W203 pre-facelift, which was from model year 2001 to maybe 2003?

I mentioned in your original thread that I did a Pioneer head unit conversion on a 2002 C Class that came out super. Fits like it was factory installed and provides bluetooth, satellite radio, HD radio, Apple Car Play and a back up camera. Has touch screen and retains the steering wheel button functions. Good luck with your choice.
