Hello All,

I am new to this site and just about to purchase the AVIC-Z2 for my 2004 Mercedes Benz C230 Sport sedan.

Install includes:

- Avic-z2

- ND-BT1 bluetooth

- CD-IB100II NIB Ipod

- Sirius SIR-PNR2 sate radio

- ND-BC2 Rear Camera

Questions:

Does anybody know where I can find a wiring kit for my steering controls to work with the avic-z2? my stock mercedes wheel controls.?

Any general install tips or help because I have been reading some of the forums and people are talking about your cars " VSS Wire", and the wiring harness? no prior knowledge about nav hookups

I am pretty new with this nav system and any tips would help. In addition I am planning on getting a professional installed but want to make sure I gather all good tips and materials (wire harness, additional parts) before the install.

Thanks,

Check out http://www.peripheralelectronics.com/ for the interfaces. I have no experence with mercedes, but the steering wheel and other interfaces from peripheral worked flawlessly with my 2007 GMC truck.

Thanks man I just checked it out and they do have mercedes kits.

Appreciate it,
