Mercedes aftermarket radio and amplifier 

Hey this is your boy Eric again from Cali. Correction on that last request I asked for you to do for me. Well I just figured out that I don't have to do nothing in the front. The only thing I have to do is connect to RCA wires to the radio and run RCA to the back of the car to the new amp because the factory amp has the speaker connections already so all I have to do is like you was showing on a video connect disconnect The speaker wires from the factory app and put them in my new amp and that would get my speakers to play. Once again...thank you so much. Your boy Eric from Cali.

This video helped me do a complete install on a E430. Cut down on install time by at least 4 hours. Still a 2 day install but it made my life a lot easier. Thanks Bro!

Hey this is your boy Eric from Cali with an update. Everything that you mention in your video is absolutely right was absolutely true and it worked out perfectly for my car. My wife has a 2001 Mercedes S430 and I installed an after market double din radio with the amp and I used a new amp for the factory speakers and everything worked great. Your diagram for the speaker wires were on point. Once again thank you again and a lot.

My son's first car. 94 mb e420. Great Car!!! Long story short... Factory stereo and amp gone when we got it. Your video help a ton !!! Thanks Kenny. This car has a 6 speaker config. and after 10 mins of studing it we decided to run rca cable to the trunk with a after market 6x9s and amp. Add a battery and another amp with a 2x15 sub. Subs are old skool pa. system enclosures made by Yamaha. So far this thing is louder than we planed. Need new rear light lenses as the ones that were in it blew apart. Any questions? Ask away.... Once again thanks Kenny... Cheers!!!

Yo Kenny your the Man bro ... after riding for about a week with no sound and getting a bunch of run around from benz guys . Today 5 hrs later I’m done a complete install wires hid and all . Your info was VERY helpful Thanks. I haven’t done a radio and amp in years . Good shit 💯 keep posting big dawg

hey right now I'm working on my Mercedes I'm having the same problem with my factory amp don't know which direction I'm going to go yet glad to see you doing well and positive stuff

I'm putting in a MOST adapter from Avin, so I'm taking notes. That should turn on the amp. We'll see what happens. Thanks, Kenny!

Thank you for posting this helped me a lot

Ok thanks bro. You got my cl500 sounding like it should.

Thanks for the Vid, keep posting

Is the vw wire harness the same as mb when I did my CLk 430 that’s the on I used work good for me

The wiring harness comes from Spiral Audio. They also have the dash kits. The steering wheel controls come from Metra Audio ASWC-1. I posted a detailed video on installing on a 2006 S500

Hey this is your boy Eric from Cali. I love your video on the Mercedes. Well done. I'm putting in an aftermarket radio for my wife's 2001 Mercedes S430. I really need your help in letting me know of which wires in the front do I need to connect straight to the radio. Again thank you so much for your videos. Much love...your boy Eric from Cali.

Good shit man

Hi Kenny. Thanks for posting your expertise on this vehicle. They're not a simple nut to crack. My 2002 500 radio is having problems picking up certain stations. Do you think this could be the problem? Thanks in advance.

How did you get the rca’s to the back? Cant find a tunnel area you got a video how ya did it?

thanks bro , someone originally told me i couldnt use the factory speakers , saying they were fiberoptic as well .....

Thanks for posting, hey how did you find the attenna cable? I cannot find it?

I have a 2004 s430 and I want to put in a aftermarket touchscreen and aftermarket what’s the process in a simple way seeing as I’m not using the Bose fiber optics system??? I’m also using a separate battery like you did to avoid headlights dimming on me

So the Red & Yellow constant wire, is if I don't want to tap into the harness? could I tap into that wire with RCA wires? My android head unit already has an built-in amplifier. 2003 5000 4-Matic, Nice video bro really detailed!

nice to see you again

Hey bro so is the solid wires positive and the stripped wires negative for the speaker wires?

how much do you charge to put in a new motor? really need some help here. thanks Kenny your awesome! please keep posting.

i have a 320 and im wondering if the ground for the factory amp is brown like on your harness. i think the black is hot 12v and the brown is ground. Thoughts?

yo Kenny u do good work on tahoes I just got a 2001 and it's in Mississippi how close are u too Gulfport

Any ideas on tweeters for the S550?

Hey man how you doing I have a s500 I want to use a aftermarket amp and also install a double din but I need to know what's too big of an amp for my door speakers ? And should I use a 4 channel or 5 channel and do u recommend a certain amp

Hey man, for front side, which wires are for the speakers ?

You should’ve bought a lc7i to keep your steering wheel controls and separating your signal highs mids bass it gives you a better sound with 9 wire conductor

Ok how many watts should the amp be and what's too much for my factory door speakers to hold ? And I saw some dash kits on eBay is that where u got yours ?

Thanks for the video I have a 02 s430 I'm trying to in stall. my wires looks likes your but what am I doing about the fiber optic wires please help me out bro

Kenny need your help on the radio install, I wanted to keep the Bose amp with after market radio, do you know the amp wake up wire in dash harness,

To use factory Bose amp you have to hook up blue/ white wire with the Other blue/ white! On factory plug worked for me an Bose amp come on! Plus wire harness for a Mercedes Benz can be for VW Audi an a few others cars. If this helps send me a thanks! I might start doing videos on car things reasons for is because it's hard finding what you're looking for an wasting time but you do learn something new🙌🏿

Have you got a wiring diagram for the factory speakers

dude i really hope you are doing good, is been a while i haven't seen you posting anything.

pretty Gud

Need help so i replaced all door speakers head unit to android so i want to do away with fiber optics all together so the harmon amp is all that was left so i pulled that out. So if i am going to just use a 4 channel amp to power the 4 door speakers so got the right wire colors so after i run the og wires to 4 channel amp i need to know how about the head unit do i need to run new speaker wire to it or?

There is some connectors to by pass the fiber optics, u can bypass all of that because they are well known to fail and if one thing doesn't work the whole system fails

Hiii I have a ML350 & I took out the factory stereo & had a kenwood installed & they told me the factory AMP doesn't work with after market radios & that i don't need an AMP. Now when I listen to the local radio stations I get a lot of static & they barely come in. Does the AMP act as an antenna as well? Or what do I need to do to get the local radio stations to come in clear like they did b4 the new radio? I'm asking hoping you can help me lol. Thanks in advance!

Hey how do I Conect the blue antenna to the internal antenna

I hate to say it but sometimes you have to pay. I don't know if I'm going to keep it or sell it and I don't know if I should buy the factory amp or put in a new amp

also how do I get rid of this whine noise in the audio. you thing this is caused by a poor ground?
