blue tooth upgrade for 2000 S430.

I am looking for the best device to upgrade my 2000 S430 for Bluetooth capabilities. Prior to now, I simply purchased a tape cassette device from radio shack through which I was able to play music from my I phone 6 through the factory audio system, but no phone function. However, the tape cassette device will not eject from the tape player and no longer works. any suggestions for removing the cassette device as well as a device to upgrade the existing system would be most appreciated.

First you'll need a dash kit. Its like $75 online. Also an AM/FM antenna. Like $15. Warning- you'll have poor AM/FM reception with an aftermarket radio. I went to 3 different places that said thats just the way it is with certain benz models

I had best buy do my install. The install came out to around $400 for amp, radio install. Lots of rewiring required. Another local car shop wanted $480. I also got the steering wheel control module installed. I added a double din radio, amp and 12 inch woofers. Didn't change interior speakers. They still sound clear and amazing
