Best Radio For Your 90s Euro Car! + SL500 Manual Swap Update! 

I recommend calling Victor at Restore your Mercedes’. He is up in Brooklyn, Victor reprograms ECUS ON these cars on the regular. Very knowledgeable guy.

Tough luck on the reprogramming not working... someone will come to light eventually. Man that head unit is awesome though! May be a cop in future for the E420.

How does the radio sound? Is it better than factory?

I have one in my 99 SL500. It’s a great radio and it does everything well but the USB functionality is so useless. These don’t charge nor sync, just meant for music on a flash drive. At that point, I’d rather not have the USB Port as its only there to tease lol

Nice great car with manual💪💪💪

In part 3 (?) you mentioned leaving a transmission computer connected to the shift lever, to ensure that it started. It would fool the ecu by making it think it is in park. I believe there was an rpm limiter in park on the auto transmission models. I don't know if the rpm limiter was also in neutral, you'll have to do your research. If it wasn't then it's a matter of making that computer always think it's in neutral.

Give Sound German Automotive in Washington State a call about your limp mode issue

Just got the radio for my 97 SL500 but one of the plugs does not fit. The top smaller connection is different than my original one. I have to send it back. Too bad I really liked the look of that radio.

Any recommendations on a shop for your SL500 in Minnesota? Appreciate the video - considering the same radio as well

Hi! Do you know if it is possible to change the welcome text that shows up when you turn the radio on? Thanks!

How is the audio quality? Did your car come with the Bose amp behind the driver's seat?

Hello! I have a 98 SL600 and bought this unit. The bottom plug connected perfectly but the smaller top plug would not fit. Everything seems to work without that top plug but did you also have this issue and do you know what exactly that top plug is for?

I know someone who is german car nerd, maybe he can help you but not sure
