I'm definitely interested as well. iPhone connectivity + bluetooth are obvious needs.

I'm wanting to know this, too. Anyone?

Check my review of the unit out:

I will be creating a new post (https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...80-4matic.html)for my car so I don't create any more confusion.

I just bought & installed this unit from http://www.seicane.com/car-dvd-playe...tooth-srd-8731
works great, comes with harnesses for optic speakers, and steering wheel controls, blue tooth etc. Stock look not complaints so far.

That looks awsome. Do you have the Harmon Kardon system in yours? If this is a direct replacement with the fiber optic system, I'm all over this.

I do have the Harmon Kardon system but this unit does not use the fiber optic system, it's a self amplified head unit..

If i'm correct you will need something that would allow this system to integrate
with car's Fiber optic system for the all the speakers to work correctly.

Car's with fiber optic system would lose ~5% loudness

When I ordered the unit they asked me for the year, make, and model. They have 2 different cables that are for fiber optic cars and non fiber optic cars. Hopefully I wont loose any sound quality.

I've attached a picture below, look at 20, 21, and 22.

Stopped by to see how everything was going. I asked Ned (Installer) how is it going and he said so far everything is plug and play and that he will keep me updated.

Wow!!! Plug and play that's awesome.. So then there is a connector of sorts for the fiber optics.. Fantastic news.
