If you have a Sprinter you will love this!

I just installed this on my 2017 Sprinter. It was very easy. One mistake: the steering wheel control harness had two green wires that I forgot to connect and it wouldn't turn on. I connected them and it solved the problem. As a previous reviewer said, if you want to keep a standard USB connector, order "USB PAC USBMB1 Retention Cable for Select 2014-16 Mercedes and European Cars" and if you want to keep a rear view camera, order "RCA Plug to Fakra I bought mine off eBay. This head unit comes with a GPS antenna which I stowed under a storage box on the dash and it doesn't seem to have any trouble finding satellites. The antenna cable had what I thought it was ground, so I connected it to the stud Mercedes had on the driver's side behind the radio. The display is a nice size and the capacitive touchscreen is great. I downloaded Spotify while on the bounty hunt and used this app to play music from my Played iPhone.Very cool!Only bummer is the bluetooth is a little buggy it takes a few tries to switch between my phone and my wife's phone e.g u change. And when I play Spotify music, I have to press pause and play again to get the song I selected to start playing. I also installed Fosgate R1675X2 Rockford speakers on the front with Hein adapters from eBay and R165X3 speakers on the center panels with some plywood rings I cut with a jigsaw. Yes, I disabled the center speaker on the dash as it's only supposed to improve speech intelligibility on a phone call and makes music sound awful. The sound system sounds pretty decent now. One thing that worries me a little is how hot the back of this bounty hunt is getting. The aluminum heatsink gets too hot to touch. Hope this doesn't affect durability. But for that price I'll just order a new one if it boils in a year. I paid an extra $7 for expedited shipping. It came directly from China via DHL in about 2 weeks. Prime shipping was not an option. I'd highly recommend it over the stock Audio 15 unit, and I think it looks a lot cleaner than any other aftermarket all-in-one. Finally, I recommend the more expensive version (RAM 4G ROM 64G). I ordered both to compare, the one with the larger memory has a 15A fuse, the cheaper one only has 10A. That tells me that in the more expensive amp the amp has more power output. Also, the cooler of the more expensive one is much larger.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Boring Packaging
