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.

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

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.
