2005 Mercedes CLK55 AMG: Navigation Radio Upgrade

This client has been working with us for many years and brought us his Mercedes that we last equipped with an iPod/Auxiliary port. The factory radio began to fail and with a new replacement radio from Mercedes approaching several thousand dollars, he wanted to explore an aftermarket option.

He initially suggested a piece he found on the Internet that was listed as compatible with his vehicle. Unfortunately, this is yet another reason why you need to rely on professionals to save you time and money instead of working with an unfamiliar brand and product of low quality. The unit he brought to us would fit physically in his Mercedes but because his vehicle has a MOST communication ring, there are very limited options for such a vehicle and what he bought online would not work.

We did a trial-fit to confirm the incompatibility, found our initial assessment was correct and did some research [...]

This is not your average Corvette. The folks at RPM Motorsports have tinkered with the engine bay and the owner brought it to us to update the vehicle information and entertainment system.

The obvious choice to make sure this Corvette’s driver can execute a fast getaway with all that extra turbocharged horsepower, was to make sure that he had an accurate navigator at all times – hence selecting a touchscreen GPS receiver to replace the factory radio.
