Hey guys. 1st post. I have searched and searched. Can anyone lead me in the right direction... I am/have installed a new radio in the ml350. The radio has 2 wires (key 1 and key 2) that I'm certain are for the steering wheel controls (volume, channel). But I am not sure which wires they need to connect to.

Thanks

Please UPDATE YOUR PROFILE in USER CP to include the year, model 350 Gas or Diesel, and where you live.

What new radio are you installing, OE radio. aftermarket? More info needed.

Have no idea what key 1 & 2 means.

Aftermarket radio. Android by Seicane.
Honestly just need a wiring diagram that tells me what each factory installed wire does. I can do the rest. I have searched and searched

Maj. Dundee

Here is the diagram and legend.

JPortyansky

Thanks. But looking for wire color guide if possible

Maj. Dundee

Here it is.

JPortyansky

LMFAO.

Maj. Dundee

Laughing about what?

JPortyansky

Because it doesnt take a genius to figure that out. But what each color does is a different thing

Maj. Dundee

You specifically asked for a wire color guide and nothing about what each color does.

"But looking for wire color guide if possible."

Keep laughing and you won't get anything further.

Thanks for the diagrams. Do you have one that shows the command wiring? And colors?

Osr07

And does this apply to the 2011 ml350?

Maj. Dundee

Yes it does.

Osr07

do you know where I can get power from behind the stereo for an amp?

Maj. Dundee

At connector #1 (which is the largest conn.) wire #1 BLACK/RED.

Are in dash amplifiers compatible with this vehicle? I'm thinking of installing an Alpine KTP-445U in dash amp

Maj. Dundee

How am I supposed to know about any Alpine amp. Whenever you invade the original wiring you might well have problems. At your risk.
