Thank you very much for taking the time to show it. I just bought a new stereo for my GL550 and I'm planning to install it tomorrow. this will be a big help.
There is only one function that didn’t work for me after the install: steering wheel control. Is there any canbus that needs to be tapped into in order for that to work?
Thank you for the video, I have a 2008 mercedes ml320 cdi diesel and am going to replace the head unit but I can't find any info on how to connect the additional 6 cd player In the glove box of my suv is this possible or do I need other adapter to do that?
Hello, thank you for this video. From where did you get the Yellow and Black wires for the Optic Adapter. There is a five pin connector with 2 green and R/Y/B wires. And do you connect the Illumination(pink) cable to somewhere?
@@GearsAndTech Yes i have the same kit i'm asking do i connect the yellow and black wires from the optics to the the five pin connector wire or somewhere else ?
Yes I bought decoder box also Can I splice red and yellow wires into where stock canbus was connected Red to red yellow to yellow In my box I purchased it already has a little wire harness so the only thing I'll take off old factory box is the fiber optic lines and reconnect them The other question I had does Mercedes factory Amp still work through the decoder box since optic lines are entering new box? If not Is there away to hook up stock amp? Thankyou so much for your expertise Love your videos Doug
Sorry last question I clicked the link for the head unit that installed and it's not available on Amazon. Do you have the head unit? And great install video

No, it just all worked when I installed it in mine
Does the clock on the instrument cluster still work and can you set it? Also, does this head unit sport CarPlay?
No, the clock in the dash didn't work anymore after this
