It has been a problem for many 2002 and up c230 owners to put aftermarket navigation in the vehicle and have it work properly. Anyone in southern California who wants this done should contact us over here at Gold Star Audio in Irvine, CA. We have already done this in 6 05' c230's as well as countless '02 and up. We will beat any prices on the Kenwood or Pioneer double din nav units, we also make custom dash kits for the 05 and up (no dash kits are made for this car). Please let us know if we can help you get up and running. We also do audio/video and are authorized dealers for JL, Saav, Diamond, Boston, Infinity, OZ audio, Kenwood, Sony, Pioneer, JVC, Farenheit along with many others. Please feel free to call us at the number listed below or PM me, thank you.

 

The three thousand miles is an obsticle.

Can your unit be shipped and an advanced DIYer be successful with it? If so, how about cost? Is the C230 all that much different from an 05 C240 4matic?

 

the 4 matic is pretty much the same thing. The problem with the car is that there is no vss wire (everything is fiber optic) but there are ways around that. other than that the only thing that needs to be done is a custom fabricated dash kit.
