Ron, you have to take the plunge and change to the MP3 compatible changer as we mentioned ages ago, two variants exist, MP3 compatible and non MP3 compatible, both have been fitted to the R171 depending on which territory you are in and when your car was built. | ||

I'll call them to see if they can do that. If you are talking about the Infra-red factory option, why don't you just get the radio based aftermarket module. Its a lot better in terms of range etc. | ||

I'm inclined to try it ... but do we know anyone who has added it and voila! suddenly they have MP3? I had the impression that it was kind of a theory. For something like $700, it's a bit risky ... | ||

,,, anissut - the vario roof from key option works off IR - line of sight (and very close up) - just wait for one of the rf roof modules to work, then get that - it is THE most wanted, must have gizmo .... Edited by woolly 4/30/2006 3:23 PM | ||

| beverage Date registered: Dec 1899 Location: Vehicle(s): | RE: Retrofitting of factory options in the UK Must admit have seen them advertised in Mercedes Enthustist magazine, and am tempted to see what retrofits they offer for the radio ... Also a good excuse to have a week off work and take a bit of a holiday down south!!!! | ||
