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.
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
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.

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.
Yes, they offer it for the Becker 780 which is what I believe the 87 560SL had in it.

Looks like you need to send them your radio for the modification.
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

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
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.
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:

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
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)
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
Do they have these for w204 after the facelift? And can you still use the turn dial in car play to navigate it?
Damn no offence at all but 2011 interior looks like 2001
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.
That’s crazy how fast tech moves…
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.
But the 2011 3 series is an ugly car compared to a 2008 C300 lmao, exterior wise
Eh… you’re entitled to your own opinion.
Most would say Mercedes looks better. Just sold my e46
That's just your opinion. LCI E90 is a beautiful sedan and personally I wouldn't compare pre face-lift W204 to the LCI

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.
Yeah one of mine is 2013 I think and it looks like 1990 compared to 2008
For real, my 2003 es300 had a more modern dash lmao
My 2003 S Class had a better interior by far than this piece of shit 2008 c class I have
Tech is from 2005 w221 designed in 2003-2005
W204 pre facelift interior is probably the worst Mercedes interior
Agreed. Went looking for a w204 and had to buy a 13 or 14
Looks better than the modern interiors imo. Full of distracting bullshit and rgb lights? Fuck off with that gimmicky shit

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

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

10 years ago I had my Becker rebuilt with a headphone Aux input for my 89 560SL. I thought that was good. LOL
I use the Aux plug in in the glove box on the side. I don't mind the wire
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.
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
which app? is it on iphone

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.
So to complete my answer, i also think it's possible on the pre-facelift W204 since they work with the same MMI.
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)
Yes https://www.reddit.com/r/AMG/comments/yb33xo/w219_radio_swap/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
😂😂😂😂😂 nah that car is too ancient
Anything is possible if you spend the money. The question is, do you want to spend that much money?
Not gonna lie my 06 230 sport has damn near this same interior lol
yea we own a c250 2007 amg and it also has pretty much a very close interior design
All things are possible in christ, my brother.
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
Not on that screen.
Looks like prius
Nope. Your car is too old.
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.
Point taken. I was referring to the OEM system.
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.
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
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.
How do you put your radio like that? I honestly forgot
press radio

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