Fascia Adaptor

This adaptor will convert the non din-sized aperture left after removing the factory stereo to a din size ready for head unit installation. The high quality finish, colour and texture are designed specifically to maintain the original look of your vehicles interior.

The fascia adaptor allows the fitting of an aftermarket radio into the dashboard by matching the shape, style and colour of the original radio. Use the supplied pocket with the fascia adapter to fit a single din radio, or remove the pocket and use the fascia trim only with the supplied 103mm fitting cage to fit a double din aftermarket head unit. Most aftermarket radios are supplied with a 113mm high cage, because of this an additional 103mm fitting cage is also supplied in this fitting kit.
The fascia is a flush mount fascia, it gives a very tidy and professional finish.

Steering Control Adaptor

A stalk/steering wheel control adaptor enables you to utilise the original factory remote audio (whether built onto steering wheel or fitted on a stalk next to the steering wheel) with an aftermarket unit. 

The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable. The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable for a plug and play installation This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip and phone buttons.
The CANbus interface will also provide ignition, illumination, reverse gear, handbrake and speed pulse outputs.
This interface is supplied with a universal patch lead. This links the steering control interface to the steering wheel control input on the back of the new stereo.

Aerial Adaptor

An Aerial Adaptor is needed when replacing the original factory fitted head unit with an aftermarket head unit.  

A Fakra to DIN antenna adapter is in the kit. This cable adapts from a Farka antenna connection at the back of the cars original radio to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connection to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade.

The kit contains a fibre optic interface to integrate the new aftermarket stereo with the original harman/kardon amplifier in the car. This replaces the need to bypass the amplifier. 

This kit is for 2009 to 2011 facelift Mercedes SLK R171 cars with the harman/kardon amplified audio systems. The car will have harmak/kardon branding on the speaker grills.

Important Fascia Notes

• The fascias are made to suit industry standard sized stereos such as Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, JVC etc, NOT INCLUDING China units or unbranded units. 
• China units have a reputation to be over sized and may require modification to the fascia to allow it to fit.
• We do not take any responsibility for China units not fitting as they are not industry standard size.

Car Audio Fitting Accessories are sold with limited instructions. Some knowledge of car audio installation is helpful, as in some rare case "modification" is necessary.
