Hi, this is my first thread, but I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with this head unit? I'd love to install it, but I need to research the process and systems before I am comfortable doing so. Any help, suggestions, or insight is appreciated.

I drive a 2004 S430 4matic. It is an American version with no AUX or CD changer installed, basic 7" COMAND as far as I can tell, but it is a BOSE system. Bought the car for $5,500 with only 107,000 miles on it. Obviously stored in a garage much if not all of it's life. I am willing to put some money into the car, as I feel I got a good deal, but I haven't seen many solutions for Bluetooth or aux connections with this system, so I'm not even sure whether it's something I can do.

According to emails with a representative from the manufacturer, the unit I previously linked will work perfectly with the S430, but if I buy a fiber optic decoder box to go with it, it is not clear whether I need to purchase the 6m power cable as well or if the decoder box replaces it.
