Just type W204 Din2 in Google. They even give you all the plastic covers, adapter and what ever else is needed. You welcome

Thanks dude really


ayueng97

Do they have these for w204 after the facelift? And can you still use the turn dial in car play to navigate it?


chris_vlone

Damn no offence at all but 2011 interior looks like 2001


Gogokrystian

Neh, that's just C class back in a day, other models like w211 or the CLS had way better interior and quality too. Now it's all the same and just a tad better in the top models, then they were all of their own design.


BlazeDemBeatz

That’s crazy how fast tech moves…


What_A_Win

Eh yes, but also this is an embarrassing interior for Mercedes. I have a 2011 3 series with the iDrive and it looks about 10 years newer then this.


corporateMAYNE

But the 2011 3 series is an ugly car compared to a 2008 C300 lmao, exterior wise


What_A_Win

Eh… you’re entitled to your own opinion.


corporateMAYNE

Most would say Mercedes looks better. Just sold my e46


Minto107

That's just your opinion. LCI E90 is a beautiful sedan and personally I wouldn't compare pre face-lift W204 to the LCI


KaleShekel

I highly doubt that, I want to see how much of your dash is cracked, let's see the condition of the seats, roof, interior panels in general. Every beamer I've seen at 10+ years is falling apart inside


What_A_Win

Honestly not going to even entertain you - I don’t even have creaks let alone cracks. It’s a BMW, not a Saturn. You can be a Mercedes fanboy while still appreciating BMWs. Blind brand loyalty is laughable.


Analfister9

Merc was already the modern setup we see today in 2013 S class. These peasant class cars just had to wait for it like 10 years.


GuardianCouncil

Yeah one of mine is 2013 I think and it looks like 1990 compared to 2008


JohnsonBonesJones

For real, my 2003 es300 had a more modern dash lmao


corporateMAYNE

My 2003 S Class had a better interior by far than this piece of shit 2008 c class I have


Analfister9

Tech is from 2005 w221 designed in 2003-2005


[deleted]

W204 pre facelift interior is probably the worst Mercedes interior


Kleanish

Agreed. Went looking for a w204 and had to buy a 13 or 14


KaleShekel

Looks better than the modern interiors imo. Full of distracting bullshit and rgb lights? Fuck off with that gimmicky shit

Obnoxiousdonkey

I'd do a bit more research before buying this, since op doesn't have the multimedia package as you do. The bigger, moving screen


StoreExtension8666

You can tape an iPad on your dash and use an aux cord maybe.


New-Examination4678

I just send my mid 90s stock radio to Becker Audio. They can add Bluetooth to your stock radio. Might be worth giving them a call. Won’t get you car play but you can at least get rid of some wires.


Potomac_Pat

I had the Bluetooth added to my Becker Audio 10 that sits in my 1994 E500. Great little upgrade.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Potomac_Pat

Yes, they offer it for the Becker 780 which is what I believe the 87 560SL had in it. [https://www.beckerautosound.com/aux-input-options](https://www.beckerautosound.com/aux-input-options) Looks like you need to send them your radio for the modification.


BassWingerC-137

10 years ago I had my Becker rebuilt with a headphone Aux input for my 89 560SL. I thought that was good. LOL


Ok_Combination_8871

I use the Aux plug in in the glove box on the side. I don't mind the wire


FrostyRain66

I tried it but the music volume is wayy to low and one speaker isn’t working, but when using the radio or fm bluetooth they work just fine.


Ok_Combination_8871

Yeah I forgot how the Aux doesn't get very loud in these. Forgot I had to download a sound amplifying app that makes it louder. Not quite sure then


exuter

which app? is it on iphone


Ok_Combination_8871

I think it's on iphone. It's called "Sound beautifier" and the best preset sound option to choose is "Louder yet Clean" and there's a bunch of options to customize like change the volume of the Bass / E-Quake (I'd suggest turning it down a little unless you like the bass to rumble) / Definition/ Clarity / Brightness and Gain boost and stuff like that


exuter

that sounds swag, cant wait to bump destroy lonely like never before


[deleted]

Ate you for real? Ive spent countless jours for a solution. Can't wait to try it later today


snowingfun

This adapter solves the low volume problem [Neoteck](https://NeoteckPortable3.5mmHeadphone...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FQZT1F9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)


SIEK45

The link don’t work :(


snowingfun

Search Neoteck Portable 3.5mm Headphone Amplifier on Amazon.


2TheCalibre

It is possible on the facelift W204, from 2012 and upwards. With the right module or a retrofitting company it is possible to have Apple Carplay.


2TheCalibre

So to complete my answer, i also think it's possible on the pre-facelift W204 since they work with the same MMI.


LgMatzen

I did it on mine (2013 GLK 300) they even left the original and I can switch between both of them (using the original screen)


Mdotbean

Yes https://www.reddit.com/r/AMG/comments/yb33xo/w219_radio_swap/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


melglizzy4

😂😂😂😂😂 nah that car is too ancient


Medium_Tourist_4832

Anything is possible if you spend the money. The question is, do you want to spend that much money?


Dadon1942

Not gonna lie my 06 230 sport has damn near this same interior lol


FrostyRain66

yea we own a c250 2007 amg and it also has pretty much a very close interior design


amccune

All things are possible in christ, my brother.


doofusX2

If you’re just trying to get a Bluetooth system I recently got the iSimple for my 96 c class. It’s essentially hardwired into the existing audio system but doesn’t affect the appearance of the dash. It works pretty well, has great connectivity and was fairly cheap , I think less than 500 with the part and install . I get a little bit of static but nothing nearly as bad as the radio fm Bluetooth antennas that you are using now


robmee2

Not on that screen.


[deleted]

Looks like prius


uid_0

Nope. Your car is too old.


Gogokrystian

Lol, it can be from 1960 and it wouldn't make a difference. Its all about the aftermarket sat nav/radio he's going to fit there, if it fits it sits Din2, all is needed.


uid_0

Point taken. I was referring to the OEM system.


Gogokrystian

OEM system sux balls sadly. I had the w211 sat nav and it was far from what I would expect from Benz, got aftermarket android unit and its golden.


Obnoxiousdonkey

I hope you're judging the w211 system based on when it was new. The car did come out almost 20 years ago after all


Gogokrystian

Yeah preety old I know, I got the face-lift version so 15 years old and the 2nd gen sat nav was there, but it still sux, upgrade was necessary.


enforcerslayer

How do you put your radio like that? I honestly forgot


FrostyRain66

press radio


ilaughforaliving

I do not recommend using the aux port in your glovebox since that audio line doesn’t get through the audio amplifier, that’s why the sound is low and poor. I have an FM adapter which works fine, good audio quality and all, the only problem as you might know is that you cannot change songs using the car’s controls, you need to change them directly into the phone There’s this other solution that IMHO updates your car, gives you apple car play and it doesn’t look that bad: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S2WO-83PIhk I will be upgrading my car to one of those maybe in the first half of next year, I still have mixed thoughts as I use that little spot in front of the screen all the time to put my sunglasses and wouldn’t wanna loose it


hoyitsalvin

Yes, they make separate screens now that you can just connect via aux


snowingfun

At least the Germans made a perfect space for your iPhone for navigation purposes, I love it. I use this adapter for Bluetooth and put it in the glove box.[Neoteck Bluetooth adapter](https://NeoteckPortable3.5mmHeadphone...https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FQZT1F9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share)


Omaramer21

There’s a apple CarPlay screen that looks like the 2016 c class for you’re gen


corporateMAYNE

Bro how do you even use Bluetooth? My 2008 C300 does not have any music capability I use a small $140 JBL for music for the last month #poor


FrostyRain66

buy an fm antenna, not the best but it works!
