Very similar to the Kenwood DMX905S install I did in my SL65. One difference though, I wrapped the MOST and SWC converter boxes with cloth tape so they wouldn't rattle. It is a Benz after all. ;-) Next I plan to disconnect the CD changer, Nav, Tel and voice modules eventually, using a MOST bypass loops. Then use SDS Star to reconfigure the car so it doesn't show malfunctions once disconnected. I put a dual USB jack in my center console. Looks factory.
This is not easy info to find. I got quoted $1,400 for someone to just put a cheap radio in for me. So trying to attempt myself, and this is the best explanation yet. Mines a 08 w211 w the Harman Karman. I hope this works!

Hi my merc. Is a 2002 220cdi and the radio has just 1 small plug like yours did. Was going to buy a touch radio from Ali express but I see all the other wires for camera, GPS, etc.. Could a radio like that get installed in my car?
Very nice guide! I am curious though, does the wiring harness work with any aftermarket radio? I already have an aftermarket radio installed, but the issue I have is that my CD-change or the little storage box stopped working ever since, it won't open. I suppose it's due the harness wiring, I checked to see if the wiring got screwed, but all I see is a loose 2 pins connector, I suppose that's it. There is just nowhere to put it in. Hoping it's the harness wiring and maybe I could replace it to get it back to work again, does it work on those android "stock" looking radios?

i got the radio and dash kit done in my w211 .. lost steering wheel controls but set up is clean and whole system sounds stunning. i have a question.. could i fit that new 10 inch screen??

Great video, thanks for making it. Is there much sound quality degradation converting RCA to Fiber from original sound quality with factory head unit? I would like to use your module to install a Pioneer NEX unit and am wondering if my sound quality will be less then before with this setup ofretaining factory amp and speakers and SWC? Thank you in advance for your thought on this matter.
You seem to be knowledgable on these E class car's audio system. My stock setup keeps cutting out, and occasionally will cut out and the radio will turn off, and it won't get past the boot up screen unless I let it sit for 5 to 10 mins. Is this my head unit, or the audio gateway. I don't want to spend a bunch on a new head unit if the audio gateway needs replacing.
Two questions, is this the Audio 50 APS M.O.S.T system? Ive just bought myself and 02' W211 and trying to understand the different systems this car came with. If so, is this the only way to make it work with and aftermarket player? I would like to change my speakers too someday but not the original amplifier, so I'm focusing on the audio system for now. Looks like an pretty easy job once you got all the components you need, I just have to be sure that this is the same original system that I have installed in my car.
This will only work with a MOST system. I think your car has a D2B system. You would have to change the speakers and amplifier since its the older pre 2003 D2B.

My Touch Screen Radio Turned Off During A Drive & I Haven’t Been Able To Get It To Turn On Since. When I Start The Car, Everything Turns On Fine Except For The Radio, Any Advice?
Unfortunately there is no simple answer for that. It can be many different modules in the car going bad. It can also be a broken wire or a loose fuse. Its also harder to fix when its working.
I almost got it all squared away 2004 e320 I did away with fiber and running 2 after market amps 1 for aftermarket door speakers and the subs the player reboots from time to time while I am driving what could it be.

This is a great video Thai I have watched many times and it’s really helpful! I do have a quick question. My 2003 E320 has exactly the same power plug with 3 pins. But the port from the hardness only has two pins (yellow and black), how do you use the 3rd pin? Does it go to the Red ACC (accessory) to allow the key to control?

I have Mercedez Benz E200, 2004 (Kombi). I want to install an aftermarket LCD with BlueTooth and stuff. The seller wants to know if I need a fiber optic decoder or not. I have no idea what it is and how to check if I need one. can u plz guide me?
Are you still doing these installs? I have an 05 CL55AMG that DESPERATELY needs the stereo upgraded but no one wants to touch it here in Maryland. Do you have a kit for my vehicle? Thanks
my w211 with hk has 2 connectors on the back of the headunit, one with fiber optic and 3 wires, the other with 3 wires. Both harnesses are labled "Amp". Any idea what the third wire in each set could be? They are light tan, dark tan, and red+yellow.
@@lukerobertswr5189 I'm not sure what the 2nd connector is but is never used. Sounds to me like you did not buy our harnesses. I would call the people that sold you the radio. If you did buy it from us just call us for support.
@@Enfig found out 2nd connector goes to the aux cord in the glove box... Not needed. Anyways, wondering if you know how the amp powers on, is it through the canbus?
@@Enfig when connecting wires to the canbus itself, are there any slots within the canbus that I should not plug into? I plugged in directly next to the factory wires.
Great video, but I can not find the car canbus connector, I have an E350 2006 with no main harness connector like your video. How can I find the car canbus connector in order to keep the volume control on steering wheel?
@@Enfig when will you sell again the Enfig SRWH-W211-NONMOST, i have replaced the E W211 2006 original amplifier and radio, and replaced both for new amplifier and Universal 9" Android. I need to connect this screen with the original steering wheel volume control and others features. Please answer me as soon as possible.
@@gustavoescate5560 Right now because of the price increases and limited inventory we are not expecting that part to come back. Only the regular harness with all the parts needed for an installation.
How can you change tracks using steering wheel buttons on steering wheel. That’s the only way I would buy a kit like this. I need to be able to change tracks with steering wheel. It’s ocd for me
The canbus also supplies the reverse and switched 12V and illumination and parking brake and VSS. We actually came up with a new kit that does not have the fiber box for people that are swapping the amp.
I think they all do at this point. I know that all of them with a touch screen do. I don't install many radios without a touch screen. And there are also certain radios made specifically for big box stores like Walmart that I know nothing about.
@@Enfig thanks for the reply! I'm planning on a double din pioneer radiobut I'm not a big fan of touch screens (personal taste). I hope the steering controls will work than. No one can say it with certainty 😛
Yes. While removing battery terminals will protect you if you pinch a cable I do not feel that disconnecting the battery is necessary for this installation. But feel free to disconnect the battery if you wish to.
@@Enfig thanks a ton for the reply. One more quick question if you don't mind: how exactly do the aftermarket units make use of the factory antenna in the case of the Harmon Kardon units? Like the car in your video, I only have the fiber, and canbus cable bundle going to the back of my HU. My car has working factory GPS, so I'm guessing the HU sends all those instructions out over canbus and some other system fires into action? Does it work the same with the after market radios or do you have to go make physical connections at the radio antenna and GPS antenna?
We have bought the harness, and the model specific harness, everything is plugged in, but there is no sound coming from the speakers. What could cause this? 2004 Mercedes E500
You probably didn't buy the harness from us. I hear that complaint all the time about the fiber adapters that people buy on ebay and amazon. If you did buy it from us just call us up for support.
We did buy it from you. It was on backorder for awhile. Finally got it, and wired up, no sound. However, two days later I guess the sound played for a minute, then cut out completely again. I'm thinking it's the stock mercedes amp.
ok I have the 7logic harman becker be7039 model, it is broken, and the repair is very expensive. but I can't put that I have fiber optics on my system, I have to connect a component in the trunk with a cable
Does phone's wheel button work after this installation? How about screen menu? Will it work as Audio? I want to use pioneer Mvh-1400 nex with a carplay.

2. can you recommend any shop in baltimore MD where it can be installed once ordered?
Maybe a bit too late but Best Buy can do the install
So I have an E-class MB E320 from 2003. Seems the previous owner was an idiot and he broke the locking mechanism and bracket for the audio unit. Is there anything I can do to remove the unit now without damaging anything. I already bought a new mounting bracket but first I need to get the broken one out. All help is welcome...
Sorry I have never been in that situation. Not sure what to do.
I have Mercedez Benz E200, 2004 (Kombi). I want to install an aftermarket LCD with BlueTooth and stuff. The seller wants to know if I need a fiber optic decoder or not. I have no idea what it is and how to check if I need one. can u plz guide me?
When you remove the radio if you remove the fiber and you lose audio that means that your audio travels through fiber.
Wait was that a HDMI port on the back meaning I can put a fire stick on it 👀?
Many radios have an HDMI oirt on the back.
Are you still doing these installs? I have an 05 CL55AMG that DESPERATELY needs the stereo upgraded but no one wants to touch it here in Maryland. Do you have a kit for my vehicle? Thanks
Yes just give us a call. We are in NJ right outside on NYC.
my w211 with hk has 2 connectors on the back of the headunit, one with fiber optic and 3 wires, the other with 3 wires. Both harnesses are labled "Amp". Any idea what the third wire in each set could be? They are light tan, dark tan, and red+yellow.
could the second connection be due to my factory stereo having satellite radio?
@@lukerobertswr5189 I'm not sure what the 2nd connector is but is never used. Sounds to me like you did not buy our harnesses. I would call the people that sold you the radio. If you did buy it from us just call us for support.
@@Enfig found out 2nd connector goes to the aux cord in the glove box... Not needed. Anyways, wondering if you know how the amp powers on, is it through the canbus?
@@lukerobertswr5189 I'm not sure if its the canbus or the fiber box.
@@Enfig when connecting wires to the canbus itself, are there any slots within the canbus that I should not plug into? I plugged in directly next to the factory wires.
Great video, but I can not find the car canbus connector, I have an E350 2006 with no main harness connector like your video. How can I find the car canbus connector in order to keep the volume control on steering wheel?
Unfortunately its currently on backorder. Should be back in about a month.
@@Enfig when will you sell again the Enfig SRWH-W211-NONMOST, i have replaced the E W211 2006 original amplifier and radio, and replaced both for new amplifier and Universal 9" Android. I need to connect this screen with the original steering wheel volume control and others features. Please answer me as soon as possible.
@@gustavoescate5560 Right now because of the price increases and limited inventory we are not expecting that part to come back. Only the regular harness with all the parts needed for an installation.
How can you change tracks using steering wheel buttons on steering wheel. That’s the only way I would buy a kit like this. I need to be able to change tracks with steering wheel. It’s ocd for me
Yes of course you can.
Do I have to look up the canbus if I don’t care about radio controls on the steering wheel and stuff
The canbus also supplies the reverse and switched 12V and illumination and parking brake and VSS. We actually came up with a new kit that does not have the fiber box for people that are swapping the amp.
Does actually every Pioneer double din radio the possibility to adx the steering wheel controls? Or is there a feature I need to look for?
I think they all do at this point. I know that all of them with a touch screen do. I don't install many radios without a touch screen. And there are also certain radios made specifically for big box stores like Walmart that I know nothing about.
@@Enfig thanks for the reply! I'm planning on a double din pioneer radiobut I'm not a big fan of touch screens (personal taste). I hope the steering controls will work than. No one can say it with certainty 😛
@@cooleloekie The pioneer web site will tell you.
So why do I need to install a most loop if I'm not going to be using anything on the most network since comand is getting replaced?
In this video we keep the factory amplifier and bypass the CD changer. That is why we use the loop.
Did you do the whole install with the battery terminals still connected? Outstanding video btw, it's a tremendous help!
Yes. While removing battery terminals will protect you if you pinch a cable I do not feel that disconnecting the battery is necessary for this installation. But feel free to disconnect the battery if you wish to.
@@Enfig thanks a ton for the reply. One more quick question if you don't mind: how exactly do the aftermarket units make use of the factory antenna in the case of the Harmon Kardon units? Like the car in your video, I only have the fiber, and canbus cable bundle going to the back of my HU. My car has working factory GPS, so I'm guessing the HU sends all those instructions out over canbus and some other system fires into action? Does it work the same with the after market radios or do you have to go make physical connections at the radio antenna and GPS antenna?
I have instead just as your have but I get no sound and when I wire canbus it makes the car malfunction but goes back to normal
When I unplug it
I have never heard of that happening before but if you used our products contact us for support.
@@Enfig I’m an hour from your shop do you think you could take a look at it ? If it can be salvaged I’ll buy yours on the spot
Contact us for a quote.
Awesome man great job
Thank you I appreciate it!
We have bought the harness, and the model specific harness, everything is plugged in, but there is no sound coming from the speakers. What could cause this? 2004 Mercedes E500
ever figure it out?
You probably didn't buy the harness from us. I hear that complaint all the time about the fiber adapters that people buy on ebay and amazon. If you did buy it from us just call us up for support.
We did buy it from you. It was on backorder for awhile. Finally got it, and wired up, no sound. However, two days later I guess the sound played for a minute, then cut out completely again. I'm thinking it's the stock mercedes amp.
Make sure you installed the included fuse. Call us for support. I know it’s rare nowadays but we actually pick up the phone.
hello, it's plug and play, what device is this? I'm interested, do you need to cut wires?
ok I have the 7logic harman becker be7039 model, it is broken, and the repair is very expensive. but I can't put that I have fiber optics on my system, I have to connect a component in the trunk with a cable
If the amplifier is broken then you either have to fix it or rewire the car. We sell the part without the fiber box for that installation.
that 4200 nex is what i got it go crazy
I love that radio. I have upgraded to the AVH-W4500NEX for wireless carplay but I still miss my 4200NEX
Does phone's wheel button work after this installation? How about screen menu? Will it work as Audio?
I want to use pioneer Mvh-1400 nex with a carplay.
Yes it does, I'm not sure what you mean by screen menu. I'm not sure what you mean will it work as audio. That radio is not a problem.
Do you have a link to video of adding the antenna wire or the custom mic install that was mentioned?
Thanks.
Sorry but we have not made that video yet.
Hi it says 2003-2008, would it work with a 2009 w211? I have a 2009 e63
The 2009 has a different harness. We have had a shop we sell to do the installation but since we have not done it ourselves it is not on the site. Contact us if you would like to give it a try.
sick whip btw
Where are you located? I need this job done in my E500.
We are in NJ right out side of NYC but we ship worldwide.
Enfig can you send location please I’m located in nyc and would like to come get my E500 radio replace I have the radio I wanna put in already
@@Enfig it's nice video here, please am I ghana and using e500 2003 w211, please I badly need this machine on my e500, how much is it and how fast can i get it shipped to me
@@martinsdennis7749 We sell the parts to install a radio but we do no sell the radio outside of the united states.
Does this work with a 2004 e55 ? Not that particular screen but mostly any screen ?
This actually is an E55 so yes.
Where can I get that pocket, that you've installed instead of CD changer? 14:32
We have the part number on our site with the main wiring harness. Its a factory pocket.

@@Enfig Thanks
Hi there.
What is the size of the screen used for the replacement? Thank you.
The screen size doesn't matter. Its the size of the chassis and the plastic that holds the screen that matters. Most name brand radios fit in the dash kit.
Hey Mate. Ive got a CLS C219 and i changed my Radio 2 Year ago. But i cannot use that pocket under the radio anymore. It wont open and i have 2 wires left. I dont know where they belong. Hope you can help me.
Sorry but I have never done a radio in a CLS. I don't know what harness you have and since you didn't buy it from us I cant provide support.
@@Enfig The CLS C219 is the same like E Class W211.
The Only thing is that i do not connect 2 connectors cause i dont know where they belong.
Both are for the thing under Command those "secret" place for sunglases or something else.
If you know what i mean
I've installed a D8 in my W211 06 but the os runs quite slow. Apps like Google Maps or Waze are sometimes impossible to use (run too slow). Moreover when I get an incoming call I can use any navigation app but the dynavin's. Any clue about making it work in a decent way? I have a pretty good internet connection but apps run too slow and I can't even split the screen like in android 9
I"m sorry but I don't trust android radios so I do not install them. I still take them out of customers cars. You're a perfect example of why.
@@Enfig thanks for your response and honesty. Actually mine is a Dynavine's, it's supposed to be a "high quality radio". Now everything looks as I thought
28:37 I assume the SRS lamp goes out upon engine start and self-check?
Yes. I'm always make sure to point out when warning lights do not auto reset.
@@Enfig hey do you have any ideas when the SRS lamp doesn't go out after the installation?
@@fredfrog123 I assume you must have left something disconnected.
@@Enfig The problem at mine was that both radios were connected at the same time. When thats the case, the Can-Bus get's a wrong signal. I just had to delete the errors and after that it worked.
@@fredfrog123 Still I don't think that would cause an SRS light to stay on. But I've also never tried to connect two radios to a car at the same time.
Do the steering wheel controls just plug in and connect. Also what time in the video do you do it’s install?
Depends on the radio but usually they just plug in. I don't understand the 2nd question.
Is it posible on a Mercedes b200 turbo 2008 ?

Hi, I'm in Delaware. Please tell how much you charge for installation of your product into 2006 W211/W219? Also do you sell radios or should I supply it by myself in case you do an installation? Thank you.

I’ve installed Pioneer AVH in my C5 corvette, 2 Jeep Wranglers and you can always get the harness kits for those that are literally plug and play. For W211 I’ve read up so much and since mine has Logic 7 Harman Kardon I’m reading mixed messages. Are there wiring harness kits for wiring the W211? Thanks for your help. I just got the car last night it’s practically brand new and never even driven in rain. It’s a 2007 E550
Your car is exactly like the video. This is the list for a Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX

Good video - lots of details
couple of questions .. i have '08 e350 - purchased pioneer avh-501ex - does you wiring harness compatible with this radio? Is the universal pocket for sale? If so, how much?
We do have the parts need for that radio. We do no sell the pocket because you can buy it cheaper online than we buy it wholesale from our dealership.
@@Enfig Thanks for the reply! Yes, I know. I purchased the Wiring Harness and the other components from you - good stuff! What is website(s) address for the pocket? I haven't been able to find the pocket so far...

Is the pocket that you used instead of the CD changer included in the kit ?
No that is a factory part that we do not sell. But we have the part number listed on the site.

can the 6 disc cd changer still work with a double din radio? with this harness or does the 6 disk become obsolete?
No there is no way to make the CD changer work with any aftermarket radio.

Hi, I have an 04 E55 which I purchased just recently, it didnt come with an owners manual, but if I am not mistaken, the clock on the dash is set by the numerical buttons, which are discarded with the install of a new radio, from what I see in your video. How is the clock set now with those buttons gone? Cheers, and great vid.
This can also be done through the instrument cluster.
Will changing the factory head unit out with an aftermarket (kenwood ddx57) lose key fob functionality?
I just bought the car with head unit installed and have had no key fob functions. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?

Hey, really good video. I have successfully changed the stereo. But the middle CD-changer that opens outwards and upwards is getting stuck in the outer cover of the double din fascia. When it opens, it pushes the stereo cover out. Is there any way to fix this?
