Summary
Would Not Pay The Price My 1997 Mercedes Benz C230 left the factory pre-wired for a CD changer, but neither the original owner nor me cared to spring the additional $1000 for the trunk mounted 6 CD changer. Years went by while I tried...
Strength
Price, full operational compatibility, availability of additional magazines, warranty, easily removed if car is sold.
Weakness
NOT the OEM item, not compatible with factory mounting brackets, could affect resale of car.
Bottom Line
A great value at a more than competitive price. Highly recommended.
About as easy an installation as it gets. Worked perfectly from day one. Purchased at deep discount on Ebay ($66!) with Honda cable and found MB cable online for $17. What a deal...
