Default Radio installation questions

I just recently bought a 99 e 320 and I was wanting to put my pioneer radio in it. Its a single DIN radio with no DVD etc. I have found the special keys to remove the stock radio but am having trouble finding the harness and mounting kit. I was wondering if any of you could help me with finding these products. Thank you

You are correct, that is also where I found the keys to get the stock radio out. In fact I didn't pay attention to everything I had found and I actually have the crutchfield.com harness page saved to my desktop along with the page to the key. Would you happen to know from the list found here: Universal Mounting Kits at Crutchfield.com
what bracket should be used for installation by chance?

Thank you for your help, or anyone else who helps me with this.

haven't had to order a replacement for the E320 yet, so no. but, you can
give Crutchfield support a call and they'll identify the proper unit very easily

That is excellent information. I guess I didn't realize that they could be called for support.

This issue was solved. To replace the radio you must get a VW harness and switch the constant power and accessory power. You will also need an antenna adapter. No additional bracket needed simply use the bracket that came with the aftermarket radio and slide it in place. You will need special "keys" to remove the original radio. I found mine at meijer!
