Re: [MBZ] Continental Radio

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I like that they don't appear to have a lot of bright blue LED illumination and 
don't look like a child's fantasy of what a radio in a spaceship should look 
like.

Blue LED light is the worst when driving at night.

What Jaime says. I’ve had a couple and been pleased with them. They look period 
correct in cars like W124/126s and add a boatload of functions.

I have these in a bunch of Mercedes and my Porsche.  They're great for the
money.

Same harness (ISO DIN) as the factory in a 95 E320, but you need to swap
the switched and permanent power pins.

What is a Becker Cascade?  Have bluetooth / USB / Aux in jack?

You don't think the UI is simple and easy, compared to Alpine or Blaupunkt?

For $40 radios, they work quite well.  Good sound, good range, no CD
mechanisms to deal with, play nice with USB sticks.

Well, its blue, 150k miles, well sorted out.  Injectors, glow plugs,
radiator, belt, fan clutch, full service of all fluids, front end, cold R12
AC, etc etc.

I'm trying to decide what its worth.  The market isn't easy to judge.  I
might just put it on BaT and see how it goes.  Obviously, I'm going to top

Re: [MBZ] Continental Radio Supplier

[Jaime Kopchinski via Mercedes]

I bought one of these to stick in my 350SDL to prepare it for sale last
week.

After a few days, I can say it works about as well as I'd expect for a
radio under $150.  The UI is pretty terrible and its not very polished in
terms of software quality.  (Keep in mind I've been working in SW quality
for systems like this radio for the last 15 years, so I'm pretty in tune
with these things)

It does what it should, but I'm not impressed.  Not sure I'd buy one for
myself to use long-term.  The big advantage it has is the look:  it fits
the dash well.  For that reason alone, I still prefer it over an Alpine or
Blaupunkt.  I can't really compare to their easy of use or quality, but I'd
guess its similarly poor in this price range.

I have a few Becker Cascades that I move car to car that are much better
radios, but of course, much more expensive.

Re: [MBZ] Continental Radio Supplier

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

I had a couple different Beckers in my last 240D and didn't consider either 
particularly intuitive. The first I had no manual and couldn't figure it at 
all. The second was better because I could find an online manual but it would 
randomly switch into modes I didn't understand and sometimes switch into 
"traffic" mode which apparently doesn't work here. I honestly like the Pioneer 
in my Jetta much more...

looks like alpine changed the design  The one I bought was bottom or 
next to the bottom alpine model.  The one Gerry posted is several 
notches up.


This one looks more like the older alpines I have.

you'd have to check on current models.  the first one I bought in 2000 
or so didn't then they added the ifone jack.  I have not bought one 
since 2006 or 7, so they have more bells and whistles now.

Re: [MBZ] Continental Radio Supplier

[Dan--- via Mercedes]

There is a rather lengthy thread in the R129 forum on Benzworld about these 
units as retrofits for the stock Beckers when they die. The majority of the 
responses of actual owners have been good as I recall.

Mine is in my W126 350SDL, and while it replaced an aftermarket (Sony) head 
unit that was in the car when I got it, I love mine for a lot of reasons, the 
main one being aesthetics.  Having an auxiliary input AND Bluetooth hands free 
capability is icing on the cake.

There was a European adapter plugged into the back, which I removed to find a 
regular connector socket in its place.

Looked like this when you remove it:

I’m betting yours is the same, you just need to pull the adapter out.

Excellent!  That’s all I would care about, as it provides charging and
