Description

If your Mercedes or Porsche has the fibre-optic amplifier sound system such as Harman-Kardon or BOSE, then instead of bypassing the amplifier when you change stereo you can keep it! Buy this fibre-optic decoder box and the replacement head unit will work with your amplifier sound system directly.

 

This adaptor is required in vehicles which have an original Fibre-Optic sound system. This decoder provides high-quality audio and video levels for your in-car entertainment needs. MOST fibre optic interface designed to retain the use of the original fibre optic audio amplifier (Mercedes Audio Gateway or harman/kardon amplifier) in various models to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade.

 

The interface connects at the back of the radio, it takes the phono audio output from the new radio and converts it to a digital signal that works with the original MOST fibre optic amplifier in the car.

 

To identify if you have an amplified audio system, you can check with the original invoice received when the car was purchased from the factory. Some vehicles will have clear markings on the speaker grills indicating the presence of an upgraded audio system. Or you can call your local dealer with your vehicles chassis number and ask them to check if the vehicle was manufacturer with an amplified audio system.

EU DELIVERIES

NON-EU DELIVERIES

For customers in non-EU countries, we find it is quicker and cheaper to actually send out our products direct from our manufacturing factory in CPR. This works out better value for the customer because the shipping cost is about 40% cheaper and it is about 5 days quicker in transit also. If you are unhappy with this, then you will need to let us know at the point of order but as it is cheaper and quicker, we doubt there will be an issue as we are well versed in export.

Some items are only in our UK warehouse, so will have to be dispatched from there. ). Please note, we have absolutely no control over customs processing/delays/fees. We ask buyers to be patient and if any action is required from yourselves to get it through customs, then you contact the shipping company ASAP to avoid any returns (as original postage cannot be credited back).
