Complete stereo upgrade fitting kit to install a Double DIN aftermarket radio and retain the use of the steering wheel controls in select Mercedes vehicles with factory fitted AUDIO 10/15/20 systems and Quadlock Connection

This is an alternative fitting kit to FK-711

Package Includes

• Double Din Fascia Adaptor
• Steering Wheel Control Interface
• Antenna Adaptor  (Fakra to Din)
• Universal patch lead (Included)

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.

Dimensions: 184mm x 114mm
The Fascia adapter panel takes a 113mm high cage, this is the size of cages supplied with all major brand head unit manufactures. If a cage is needed, we sell a matching cage with part number 51-013.

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. 

This CANbus interface will allow you to retain the audio steering wheel controls when installing an after market head unit in various Mercedes vehicles.

This interface will also allow the steering wheel controls to access the display screen menu.

The CANbus interface will also give out CAN ignition, speed pulse, reverse gear and hand brake signals.

This part is an alternative to 49-MB-02

SLK Note: Use this interface for later models R171 with the steering control buttons in a circular cluster. This change of steering wheel happened around 2008 models

Aerial Adaptor

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

Male Fakra to Male DIN antenna adapter cable. 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. This is a passive adapter cable, not suitable for cars that need a phantom power supply to turn on the antenna amplifier.

Universal Patch Lead

Patch cable set to connect a UNICAN interface between an after market head unit and the steering wheel controls. Can be used with Alpine, Kenwood, JVC (single wire), Pioneer, Sony and Chinese/Resistive Programmable head units with either two wires or a 3.5mm jack.

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.
