Ditto here, also a pioneer. After a ton of investigating... the factory radio is a Mercedes-Bens, which requires a POWERED antenna adapter. I got one at Circuit City for $16. the 12+ lead on the adapter needs to be connected to the wire on the factory harness that is specifically for the antenna, which is a solid black wire. Go to the dealer & service can print out a page showing the pin assignments of the radio connector. It's in the "connector pin out assignment" section on their service computer under "Audio". The connector that plugs into the radio is split into two parts, each with two rows of wires. The 0's below show where there are no wires in the plug, the x's where there are wires. the one you want is the plus sign.

Hi all,
 
We have a 168" dualie 3500 limo style, band touring build on our Sprinter. I'm trying to replace the stock radio with one that has CD/CDR/mp3/SAT/iPod. Finding the one we want to buy is not the problem. Finding the kit/harness/antennae adapter is the problem. Anyone? Bueller??

Don, Look back thru the post. The powered antenna adapter needs to be tied into a specific wire on the harness.
The post i referance gives a diagram of the plug and which wire to tap in to.If you can not find it contact me as i think i have a copy.
I am having the same problem.

Simple solution i have found is CRUTCHFIELD.COM

This is the same connector as for Volkswagons (some European Volks Vans use the Sprinter chassis/body too).
 
That piece takes care of the basic harness, but you may need the antenna adapter too.
 
On the yahoogroups sprinter forum you can find some good audio helps, like how to add an external input to the factory SOUND 30 sprinter radio. look in the archives/files
