    Stereo / MBUX differences

    Hi all, Looking to buy my first sprinter (2019 SWB) for an MTB van conversion, one of the things it must have is carplay. How do I tell if the stereo has carplay or not??

    3D-Printed Speaker Pods

    Back in 2016 I 3D-printed some speaker pods for Kicker DSC670 6 3/4" speakers to mount them on the front doors of my 2003 (T1N) Sprinter, which had no factory provision for door speakers. The pods allowed me to surface-mount the speakers, as there's no place on the door to mount them recessed...

    Replace Factory Head Unit?

    I want to replace the factory head unit in a 2020 170WB High Roof. I am having a difficult time finding one online that I am confident enough in ordering.

    Hey guys, I just installed a Kappa K5 amplifier to power four 6” speakers (2 in ceiling, 2 in rear doors) and a 10” sub. This is the same setup I had in my last build, but this time I heard a terrible hum coming from all 6” speakers. Research suggests it is a ground loop, and could be solved...

    Does anybody know what this junk is?

    Just pulled the stock stereo out to find all this crap behind it. Anybody know what it might be? The guy before me had sirius radio and a bunch of other handicap stuff.

    Stereo wiring on both battery's?

    Thanks in advance for any help. I'm a total newbie with dc wiring. I wired in a new stereo head unit. I'd like to put in a 3 way switch so position 1 powers the stereo off the starter battery. I'd leave this setting on most of the time. The red wire is attached to my switched ignition...
