[MBZ] CD Wiring?

2006-02-21 Thread l02turner

Howdy -
Still learning about my 91 300D - the radio is CD compatible - does that 
mean the wiring is pre-installed?

Would make installation a *lot* easier -

Not sure what kind of radio it is - it says Mercedes Benz on it - does 
that mean it's a Becker?


;-)TIA

Yes, its prewired.  The radio is a becker, its actually a 3 piece deal. 
 The head unit, then the actual radio unit is in the trunk, behind the 
liner on the passenger side.  The 3rd piece is the amp.  You can use a 
certain model of alpine cd changer, but requires 3 different adaptors, 
wiring harnesses etc.  2 of the adapters can be ordered from any car 
audio shop, they are made by PIE.  The 3rd one is some sort of converter 
box you have to get at the dealer.  Its about $160 I think last time I 
ordered one.  Think the other adapters are about $60 each or so.  You 
have to plug all that mess together and it will work.  The dealer should 
have the instruction sheet for it.

Or you buy an iPod and an FM broadcaster for it, and you ditch CDs entirely.
