Aftermarket Stereo Install/Dash Kit for the S550 (soon)

[nate154]

something interesting on the metra version:

they have two part numbers for the base and premium models, and if you look closely it looks like they reuse factory buttons.

Looks very similar to factory. I'm intrigued.

Do you just call them up to orders these suckers or are they hey out yet?

I definitely like the idea of being able to run any aftermarket unit (that fits). None of the stuff on the market, including the SYNC3 conversions interest me because it's still not that great outside of the clean interfaces. I'm in for one of these for sure.

UPDATE

I have a shop looking into the two different Metra kits and the Scosche Kit.

I myself like the Metra kit a bit more.

Metra is the way to go. It already includes the automatic setup for SWC

Thanks! I am all about this, and pretty much it's exactly what I am looking for.

Is anyone at the CES to see and feel for themselves what they like better?

No MSRP pricing is available yet for all three units. I believe the Scosche unit is rumored to have a MSRP around $600. Of course with a group buy I'm hoping to get that cut drastically depending what the mark up is on these. I am probably going to be focusing more on the Metra units as I do feel they look like a nicer kit. if there are any objections speak up please.

I will be getting a group buy thread up this week to get a solid feeler for quantities. I have 2 separate dealer friends looking into getting a shipment of units in bulk, I will be adding a third dealer friend of mine shortly so we are able to get the best price per unit. As always I will keep you guys posted.
