Just got my first Mercedes last week. The factory radio was already out and a dual din Dual was partly installed. Removed that, installed a Kenwood DMX7705S. Most of it is done, except for revers wire and back up camera. It's the style that you are supposed to drill into the back so it would definitely be a permanent install. Realized when looking at the forums I didn't hook up the amp wire for the antenna in the back. Soldered the power connections, did a quick connection of the speakers with crimp connections since I plan to get a small amp for the speakers.
So far my to do list:
Finish radio install, replace bad speaker
Clean EGR Valve (engine code showed up)
Identify all the bulb numbers for all the interior/exterior
Install reverse camera
rewire back tweeters to be seperate left/right, connect to back door speakers (possibly in series to make 4 ohm, or connect crossover)
Get and hook up small amp
Replace Driver Side Mirror
Done so far:
Replaced ash tray bulb. (When center console was out, found there had been a mouse nest. cleaned all that up... yuck!)
Installed Stereo
Removed bad speaker, rear driver side door, replaced with working speaker
Will get pics on a nice day with semi decent weather. Seems to be hard to come by right now!
So far I think I found the paint code (code sticker on passenger door jam by hinges?)
Desert Silver Metallic
Anyone know what this plug should go to? (Driver side near the front, by the washer fluid reservoir)

Reason: Added to the To-Do
Are there any other stamped numbers, like you are showing, anywhere else on the conn., e.g. xxx xxx xx xx (ten numbers).
What are the colors of the two wires?
I didn't see any other numbers on the connector, will have to double check, and as seen in pics, blue/white. I tried to get a pic of the numbers on the white wire but it was tricky.
I have to agree with the other member who said it is the connector for the Headlamp Cleaning pump, which you do not have.
It makes sense but still nice to know for sure, especially on something used ya know? Thanks for your help on this. I have spent 3 days researching different things, getting to know what bulb numbers are where, etc. Found out that I should clean the metal tube going to the egr before I try changing it as that is a common cause for the p0400 code. Info is out there for the people willing to take the time to research. Next big research will be on how to repair the crack in the bumper cover by the fog light housing, saving me the money of a replacement bumper cover. If it will be too much involved, I did find a primed one for under 200, then there will be the cost of painting....
