Hello,
I want to ask about installing a radio in a 94 mercedes c280. I have looked and cannot find a wire harness for this vehicle. I guess I will just solder to the factory wires. Also, are there any tricks in removing the factory radio? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Shaun

Hello again,
I think it has a Bose system. Is there a way to interface with a Bose system without purchasing a special harness. If not where can I find a harness for this car? I haven't been able to find anything for this car. Thanks again.

This Harmess should work with your Mercedes C280, You can also ask the seller to make sure.
