Upgrade Details:
The customer wanted to keep the factory look of this super clean C63 but wanted to add CarPlay , a reverse camera and upgrade the sound to make it louder and cleaners at higher volumes.
This was achieved by adding a intergration module to the factory screen that uses the facotry buttons to control the CarPlay system so it's super easy to navigate the CarPlay menu and then the AHD camera in the latch kept the oem look and gives a super crisp picture day and night.
The Harmon kardon speakers aren’t too bad at low volumes but struggle when the volume goes up so we replace the speakers with the ETON Pow 16+ components which fit with plenty of space and tweeters clicked into the factory location and really wake up the front staging. We also replace the rear speakers with the Sony GS which were great for nice rear fill. The kicker key amp integrated seamlessly near the factory HK amp which is located in the rear passenger boot so every was nice and hidden and gave the speakers that extra power to play louder than the facotry HK Amp

KEY200.4 Smart 4-Ch. Amplifier (auto-EQ/processor)
ACOUSTIC CORRECTION = AUDIO PERFECTION
Don't just make your system louder - make it clearer. Make it better…
Press the selector, and the microphone goes to work. The KEY uses a powerful internal computer to deliver dramatic improvements in realism and soundstage. A massive 40-band equalizer improves tonality, and a 24dB crossover re-defines the capabilities of each speaker.
The concert quality of your factory stereo is revealed! What would take hours for a professional to achieve happens in a matter of minutes. All automatically. All with the press of a single button.
POWERHOUSE
In addition to an unbelievable sound quality, the KEY200.4 delivers 200 watts of pumpin' power to your factory speakers. At KICKER, we know power and clarity always go hand-in-hand.
HIDDEN TREASURE
Measuring less than eight inches long and only two inches high, the KEY200.4 fits nearly anywhere. Mount it behind your radio, under the seat, or in your trunk with ease.
START. DON'T STOP.
The KEY200.4 is one of the first amps fully compatible with newer vehicles using start-stop systems. The amplifier also features FIT2™ (Fail-Safe Integration Technology), providing compatibility with nearly every stock and aftermarket radio on the road today.
KEEP THE BEAT
If the temperature reaches the threshold, the KEY200.4's dynamic power-management algorithms kick into gear! Instead of hearing the amplifier's volume “pumping” or blowing a fuse – KEY technology engages a nearly inaudible limiter/compressor, applied only to the peaks of the music for as little as milliseconds at a time. The amplifier quickly cools, which deactivates the compressor. Music returns to its full dynamic range without a moment’s interruption!
