I have a E320 that's lowered with 19" Brabus and 265/30/19 Nitto's on the back and 235/30/19 on the front.
Looks great, handles great and still rides fairly well considering the setup.

Connect Ipod interface to CD player cables by crt

I recently purchased a 1999 E320 wagon the radio reception is terrible and it does not have a CD player. Instead of paying the $500 for the 6 disc player that goes in the rear side panel. I am thinking of installing a Blitzsafe auxiliary input converter which would allow me to play an Ipod or Shuffle using the existing CD player controls on the MB radio. I would like to hear from anybody who has already installed one. I would particularly like to know if the controls work reasonably well and if there is a good way to get the Ipod connection into the center console.
 
Thanks,

Contemplating the 19" wheels as well. Should I go with the 19x8.5 or 19x10?

Radio Problems by krupie

I have a 2001 Mercedes with horrible radio sound quality. The CD sounds great, but with the radio I have intermittent problems with the quality, or tone, of the music going bad. Sometimes the right speakers turn off completely, then the sound returns to perfect. They replaced the radio, the amplifier and they say they have checked all of the wiring. Next they want to replace the antenna amplifier. Any similar problems, or suggestions?

Telephone in 2001 E320 by lcheu

I purchased a 2001 E 320 & it appears that the car already has the factory/dealer installed phone system. There is the cradle in the center arm rest. What phones will work in that cradle? Do I need to get a specially-equipped phone to work with the MB-system?
 
Thanks

Are you talking about AM or FM reception? The AM reception in the E-class has been pitiful for many years now and cannot be improved. If you are talking FM, keep pressuring the dealer. I've had a '96 and an '01 and both FM radios have been superb.

Are you still as sold on the integrated phone as you were a year and a half ago? Am about to order a new car and wondering if it is worth the investment. I see two prices on the list:
"Hands Free" and "Hands Free Voice". I would choose the former as I don't do a LOT of driving and talking, but when I do, it would be nice to look up numbers on the dash display instead of trying to do it with my handset.
 
On the other hand, I already own a Motorola V-710 (which is one of the same phones MBZ sells for $600+) which is Bluetooth and voice compatible, so perhaps it is not really worth the freight unless I were a driving fool?
 
Appreciate your thoughts

Integrated phone on E 320/ E350 2006 by blissful

Does anyone know whether these cars come prewired with phone/hands free and just need to have certain codes input to make things work? Or is there additional hardware required? Looks like all the buttons are there, and I have some technical specs that look like the data to turn these things on, but dont know where it would occur. Just curious.
