Description

Up for sale is a genuine OEM Mercedes-Benz factory center dashboard Modular Control System (MCS) navigation radio and cassette receiver head unit. Manufactured by Alpine explicitly for the W163 platform, this vintage luxury command core features high-fidelity AM/FM tuning, manual audio parameter customization, an integrated cassette deck behind the motorized flip-down display panel, and interface architecture for factory CD changers. It serves as the ideal factory replacement to solve faded liquid crystal displays, worn physical button contacts, or internal board processing failures on your classic M-Class SUV.

Important Code & Fitment Note: Please match your original part number A1638202086 exactly before purchasing. The unique factory 5-digit anti-theft security unlock code is included with this purchase (written clearly on the unit casing or provided on an insert card), saving you an expensive trip or call to the dealership. Once installed, simply input the provided code to instantly activate the unit. Mercedes-Benz mapped these units differently based on production model updates and specific factory audio trim tiers (such as the standard passive sound system vs. the premium Bose fiber-optic amplifier architecture). The navigation mapping CD/DVD disc and external upgrade modules are not included unless explicitly pictured.

Shipping & Handling
