Car audio

[Tadas]

Hey everyone!

 

I was looking for audio system, for I car that I am planning to work on, it is an older car, so I want that audio system would look elegant (not the usual tron, MODERN FUTURISTICK LED bombed) device. Speakers hides under grills, so that wont cause any problem, what about the control panel (or how it is called (where you change music, can connect aux, usb )

 

Thank you in advance guys!

Ooh, okay becouse the car is pretty old, Mercedes-Benz 250D (1989) But it has sentimental value for me so I want to improve it, hope you understand

You will need a wiring harness specific to your car, and likely a dash kit as the stock stereo seems slightly larger then single-DIN.

Maybe I`ll find something, I know a few people that could help me, we should work this out (I hope so)

Check out crutchfield.com - they make it easy to find all the accessories you'll need to install audio equipment into your car.

BTW, that 'thing' is called a head unit. So if you're doing some googling, just use something like 'head unit single din' or something.

I tried it on my mom`s car, sounded just fine, but the Mercedes speakers haven`t been used in years I`ll have to check even if all head unit functions work properly, becouse it is original Bladapunkt from factory I think :D

If everything works, just use an adapter or do some special wiring, don't go cutting up and ruining a 25 year old interior with a modern head.
