[HELP] installing 2-DIN DVD Player

Hi,

I just bought a W203 C200K 2001 and I'm looking to change the ugly stock cassette player with this 7" Touch-Screen DVD Player ..

XO Vision XOD1736 (xod1736) , In-Dash Head Units, Receivers, In-dash DVD Players (with monitor) - Sonic Electronix

Well, I know that my budget is low .. but that's all what i can pay for now ..
and i will buy the dash board enclosure from eBay .. this is it ..

eBay Motors: Mercedes C Class 2002 Car Stereo Radio Install Dash Kit (item 350057541337 end time Jul-05-08 20:47:14 PDT)

what i want to ask is, Will these two parts will work and fit perfectly with my car ??
especially the connectors (you can see them in this link XO Vision XOD1736) ..

and the other thing,
if I bought these things can i fix them myself or it is too hard or dangerous ??

Thanks in advance



Regards,

That's a single din dash kit, you'll need a double din kit. Also you'll need a wiring harness for your car so that you wire the harness in the radio to it, and then plug that into your car's connectors. Also you'll need an antenna adapter if you want to use the radio.

The examples below are not my recomendations, just a guide to point you in the right direction to get what you need.

That's the best dash kit. It's the American International, and it looks very good in the dash. The center strap will have to be cut, not a big deal. They explain how in the instructions.
If you've not done stereo installs before, it's a little iffy on a Mercedes. They wire things strangely.
