MB did come out with a somewhat smaller cd changer a year or two ago (seems closer to a year than two years). I am thinking that the reason for the change was to have a unit that will fit into the "shelf" in the 203 chassis glove box.
In the Crutchfield site, they list the outer dimensions of the changer. I would recommend comapring these dimensions, especially the 2 3/4" height, to the dimensions of the top shelf of the glove box.
Crutchfield did use the wording "most" and "select models", I also belive when they state "C Class" they may be referring to the 202 chassis, not the 203 chassis. If it fits in the shelf area, I am sure it will function with the 203 chassis radio just fine.
You need to make sure you get the installation bracket and the fiber optic link for it. There are 2 different fiber optic links available. The 2 types are for vehicles WITH Bose system (as your C320 should have) or WITHOUT Bose (Bose is an option on C240 and C230 Sportcoupes).
Installation is fairly straightforward. The toughest part is removing the radio to access the wiring to pass into the glovebox, the entire fascia around the radio needs to be removed to do this.
