Radio Wiring Aftermarket Deck 2003 Mercedes Benz CLK430 

Just my opinion but you could have used a small pick to pull the red wire out of its empty spot used a test light to find switched power on one of your other factory plugs(or what wire actually was power supply for factory radio) and move the red wire over just clicked it in.... if the wire you found wasn't being hooked up to something else... if it was being used then you could have pulled the pin out of the Factory plug strip back your piece of Jumper wire and just twist the two together and put a new pin on them put it back in the factory plug now you've got a jumper put a pin on it and stick it where the red wire will connect to it when you plug the adapter together would have been cleaner wiring and probably limited some interference everybody uses ground Loop isolator to stop alternator noise but a lot higher-end cars have filtration on radio power source from the factory that's just my opinion Also to make it easier to do stuff like this you can get a little set of keys that will release most types of electrical pins from there connector just search for electrical pin removal tool it's like five bucks looks like a set of keys a janitor would have

So the job requires both aftermarket adapters?

How do you get that middle piece of metal out? I am upgrading from standard cd player with tray under to OEM command Nav unit

The wiring harness you have listed is not correct . The wire harness that works with this car is Metra 70-1786 ( you listed 70-1768)

Where you think I can get a wire harness for 09 cls550 please

Weres the wire come from? Can't find it

Hi is this to power up the factory amplifier via the cigarette lighter wire while using stock speakers and aftermarket deck? How did you install that jumper wire you mentioned? And why? And instead of having to splice and connect the signal wires from the harness adapter to the HU harness I just signal the speakers through the rca cables which were included in the harness adapter? Where do i plug the other end of the rca cables? I am not doing a sub or aftrermkt amp......So I don't need to buy that converter I hear about. Am I on the same page or did I mis interpret your setup?

How do you hook up the sound? Where do you put the amp wire?

I have hooked up an aftermarket radio and everything works. Only thing is when I turn car off and back on, I lose all my pre-sets. Any suggestions?

When you disconnect the battery did u have any problems with the radio lock code

Did anyone have to mess with the fiber optics to get sound?

I have a e430 I have the same problem the red wire leads to nothing so my question is where did u pull that cig lighter wire from?

I have a 2003 CLK 430 do you think there is a touch screen radio I could put in my car?
