RE: Dont mean to appear ignorant but
Congratulations on your new car. I also owned a SLK320 but my radio reception was very good. I did end up installing a cd changer to get music I liked. Because MB uses Fibre Optic for sound system, you are quite limited to what you can install and still be able to use the controls on the dash for your CD changer. I did end up going to a reputable Consumer Electonics Retail Store who sold me a great system that was compatible. It worked great and set me back about $1200 USD installed. Don't fool around with FM modulator types as it will just be throwing money out the roof.

Checkout www.MBenzNL.com. Steve or Wanda can provide all the choices for your model and there may be installation options as well.

If I read correctly she has a 230, not a 320?
