Re: [MBZ] W124 Correct Radio
My '95 does. The '87 did not, had to fabricate a converter from a Crutchfield pigtail that you sent me (fit the '87 wiring harness) and the pigtail that came with the radio. The '87 also has the fader roller in the center console to deal with. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 2:03 PM Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > Does the later W124 have ISO connections? > > -D > > > On Mar 18, 2019, at 1:58 PM, Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes < > mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > > > Becker 780.

Re: [MBZ] W124 Correct Radio
Ask Becker? http://beckerautosound.com/ I've tried two different Continental radios. They are nice and simple, and look correct. https://www.continental-automotive.com/en-gl/Trucks-Buses/Interior-Cabin/Infotainment/Radios I've got a Continental CD7416UB_OR radio in my '87 wagon now, it has bluetooth and a CD player. Had it for a few years, works fine. User interface (programming) is rather clunky, "made in china", but the radio is pretty simple and looks good, does what I need with no swimming fish or tiny illegible buttons. Bought it from these guys: http://www.egauges.com/category-s/33233.htm Previously I had a Continental TR7412UB-OR, but it malfunctioned after about 6 months. The radio lost sensitivity and could hardly pull in any radio stations. The bluetooth part worked fine. I tried to get a warranty replacement from the German store sold it to me, but they ultimately refused to honor the warranty. We had email exchange, they said they'd replace it just mail it in, but then when I sent it from the US of A apparently they had to pay a big customs fee to get the dead radio, they declined to do that and stopped answering my emails. Dead radio was shipped back to me. I would try another TR7412UB-OR, I don't need a CD player, but I'd find a seller here in the US of A that would honor a warranty return if I had trouble. - Max Charleston SC On Mon, Mar 18, 2019 at 1:30 PM Bob Rentfro via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > What is the correct radio that should be in my W124 (‘87 300D)? > > Bob R > > Sent from my iPhone > ___ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > > ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
