If you have a picture to send, I'd love to look at it. I'm making my purchase this weekend so I'm ready to install by the end of next week
Yeah, that is the one. Great features at a reasonable price and no add on boxes. But here's the question, does your e300d have the active base system that powers small "subs" in the doors? If so there is a small amp in the trunk on the right. I wonder how to connect those speakers when adding the new amp. I pulled up the service manuals and found information about the amp. Apparently it is powered on when the antenna goes up. So when installing the new head unit, I will need to figure out which wires are "line out" and which controls the antenna.

I will post some pics of how I ran the antenna. Could you post pics of the wire harness and plugs on the back of the stock radio....actually how do you plan to connect your radio? Is there a wire harness adapter available.
