Mercedes add-ons - electrical problems?
As long as a pro does it you will have no problems
You should stop listening to the dealer tell you things like "it will void you MB warranty" or "MB's are different" The only real issues you will have in changing the indash is the BOSE intergration and/or the loss of your changer if you have one. The MB changer is Fiber Optic and will not function with any other brand radio other then MB. "CLK" wrote in message om... I have a late model Mercedes and would like to replace the stock radio/cassette with a new CD/Mp3 player BUT I've been advised not to because it screws up Mercedes very complicated electrical system. Has anyone had any experience with putting an after market player in a MB? |

I don't have the Bose system, just the std. MB radio/cassette. I also do not
want the changer - just a single disc player. Why is it so damn complicated to add?? It wasn't the dealer who told me but an independent Mercedes/european car mechanic who warned me. Mercedes electrical must be more complicated than Chinese arithmetic. "Masterson" wrote in message ...

OMG....
didn't you listen to me???? sorry ....let me clam down. 1. Its NOT overly difficult. It is above entry level installers. 2. I didn't ask if you 'wanted' a changer. I was commenting on if you ALREADY had the MB changer........ 3.Your 'Independent Mercedes/European car mechanic's is exactly that. A Mechanic. When it comes to electrical most have NO idea what they are doing. Also, he probably was trained at a MB dealer, so this rhetoric is the same standard blah. Have you found a GOOD local car audio shop? They will do the install for you, if you had gone yesterday, it would have been done by now, and you would be in your car listening already.

I paid a visit this evening to the shop that did the install and had them
listen to my system. They agreed that the tweeters were the source of my discomfort (i.e. too bright) and the end result is that I'm getting a pair of better MBQ crossovers installed, ones that will adjust the attenuation. They say that'll fix the brightness, and even if it doesn't they agreed to work with me on an exchange, if all else fails.
