Go With OPTI-1 Route. Some wiring required but you can update your unit to any aftermarket unit in future.
I initially installed pioneer z110 and just last week changed to another pioneer 8100nex and all I needed to rewire new unit was 5 cable splices.

I need help please.
No
Mercedes used optical wiring from the head unit to amp so no aftermarket radio will work without the $600 adapter . Either you buy the $600 adapter and use the factory amp or you bypass the factory amp and run new speaker wire directly from the aftermarket head unit (or your aftermarket amp) directly to the speakers
