Product Overview The Stinger AFP-23-08 is a vehicle-specific single DIN radio fascia kit designed to enable the clean installation of an aftermarket single DIN head unit into the Mercedes-Benz R Class W251 from 2006 to 2012. Built to follow the exact dash geometry of the W251 platform, this fascia delivers a professional, factory-integrated result without cutting, trimming, or improvising around the factory opening.

Yes the AFP-23-08 is confirmed for the full 2006–2012 W251 production range, which includes the 2011 facelift models. Always confirm your build year before purchasing. Are mounting brackets included with this kit? No mounting brackets are not included and will need to be sourced separately. Confirm the bracket requirements for your specific head unit before purchasing. Does this kit suit double DIN head units? No the AFP-23-08 is designed for single DIN head units only. A different fascia kit will be required for a double DIN fitment in the Mercedes R Class W251. Is professional installation recommended? For those unfamiliar with Mercedes dash removal or stereo wiring, professional installation is strongly recommended. Incorrect fitment on European luxury vehicles can affect surrounding trim panels, COMAND system integration, and cabin electronics. What is the return policy if this doesn't fit my vehicle? Return eligibility is subject to the retailer's policy. Always verify your vehicle's chassis code and build year against the compatibility list before ordering.
