I just switched my headunit and the 4 speakers for my 1994 c220, that my parents bought new in 1994. Its 12 years old with only 75k miles...since my mom babied it lol.

Well, I had the nonbose system, and the speakers and the optional 6 CD changer sucked nuts. So I changed the door speakers to kenwood 6.5s and 5.25s and this mp3/wma/aac/anyotherformat headunit for 499 OTD installed at a local shop. I think I got a helluva deal.

My 1gb flasdrive also works, it's badass.

But, anyways...comments, suggestions

not bad for the price but it seems kinda low so i'm guessing they threw co-axial speakers up front instead of components! also ditch the cassette holder and change it with the storage tray. it cleans up the look of the front dash so much more!

Thats what I need! I have that stupid MB Phone book thing there. I hate it. Where can I buy one and how much for the cubby?

+2, that storage tray thing would look nice. The tape thing there looks retarded, especially since I don't have it anymore.

Yeah it's just 2-ways...but it still sounds better than before. Maybe in the future I'll get a crossover and aftermarket tweeters...and maybe dedicated 6x9 bass in the back.

i think they are only like 13 or 15 bucks from the dealer. it's a cheap part!

flash drive? does it have USB port on teh front or back?

we just picked up a JVC HU for my girls jetta.. it has the front USB jack. it accepts 1gig Flash drives, or you can plug your Ipod directly up to it.. its cool
