Mercedes A-class W168 dash board trim replacement

Easy dash board trim replacement for 2001-2004 Mercedes A-class W168. Simple tools required, like one PH1 screwdriver, some nylon trim tongues and 15 minutes or less.
The upgrade is part of an interior package larger mod, menit to modify a Classic variant to an Avantgarde one.

Hello, I am about to do sth similar, I wanted to upgrade the radio in my W168 (with a Pioneer SPH-10BT). Do you know if I need a special convertor/connector, or the existing cable(s) in the W168 can be directly plugged into the new radio? Many thanks for the answer! P.S. I see your radio is not the original Mercedes one, so you should know, I guess. 😊

For any aftermarket radio you need the dedicated adaptor, ISO to your radio. You can find these adaptors anywhere, on most online shopping web sites. Search for "pioneer sph-10bt iso adapter".

What is the last pin you removed, what does it activate?

[@aerofan3827]

If you refere to min. 04:23, it is the connector for the heated seats controls. I have made a retrofit to original specs, thus you can see it present in a Classic car configuration.
