Check with your local car stereo shop, this was recommended to me by my local guy for a 2007 Mercedes CLK550.

It works with my Bose sound system in '05 A6. Do you have CD changer with fiber optic? What version of the MMI do you have? Those are the things you need to worry about about.

Like with almost any aftermarket product you will most likely have to modify something to get it to fit. When I bought the speakers for my truck it was not a direct fit. I had to use the factory adapter/spacer for it to work. If the one in your car dosnt fit then you will most likely have to fabricate something. Best sugestion if you dont want to deal with the hassle just buy OEM replacements. Amazon has everything you need.....just cost a little more.

Contact the seller. I purchased this adapter from this seller for my inmotion speakers.

I have this because my car does not have a head unit. I can say you are better off getting a dedicated head unit and using it instead. This amp should work with any application - it has preamp inputs and speaker-level inputs. This means you can have an input from RCA (like from an aftermarket headunit) or from your factory headunit (splice into the wires going TO the speakers).

No you have to get an adapter for what ever car you are putting them into. Make sure you measure your stock speakers to see if they will fit. I had to twik the speaker holes to have them fit

If you check sonic electronix.com, it is a good source for finding out if you need speaker adapters for your vehicle before you order them. Also watch a YouTube video to see what others have done also. That should give you a good idea. Hope this helps.

Yes. My wife uses it with her Bose Soundlink. The only issue she has is going between her car and the Bose. It seems to take a little longer to connect. It might be a Toyota thing. I don't have the same issue.

They do come with the adapter but it is not a universal bracket. Just as if you were to buy it directly from alpine, it is not guaranteed to fit all cars, my 2011 Evo for example. The speakers are shipped with everything as if you were to buy them from the manufacturer. Definitely worth the price.

I'm not sure but I am sure of this you will need a new dash din which is what holds the stereo. Take it to a audio shop to get a pros opinion

I don't but if you go to www.crutchfield.com and click on car stereos they have a compatibility guide there that may be helpful.

Great choice of speakers. I d say as long as the oem speakers are same size. Then yes. Go for it! !I'd pull one out n approximately measure old one. Then go from there. One thing to make job easier I'd spend the extra n buy the aftermarket to Oem speakers adapter harnesses. Not that expensive n will be able to leave existing wires uncut. Which is huge plus for later down the road n ya wanna sell vehicle ya can put the old junkers back in.. With out splicing!!Goodluck. Jam on!!Hope this post helps.

If you have the 10 speaker Bose system this is the only one that will work. It has to be the exact factory replacement or it will not work.

It should work fine. I use Bose speakers the only problem you might have is in doing the auto speaker setup which failed multiple times with Bose so I'd anticipate you will have the same problem

It will work , but I doubt it'd fit in the factory location, be compatible with factory wiring, or factory speakers.

Don't waste your $ on any radio for a Mercedes... You would have to replace the entire sound system to get anything near the quality of what you already have. I bought this radio and took my C240 to get it installed, tech said it would cost $1000 or more to get the quality your used to.
