No, but neither will any other aftermarket head units that I know of.

When you say it's a head unit - is that in the sense the w124s are
head units with the tuner and amp in the trunk? Just curious -- my OEM
head unit is starting to do funny things (funny as in strange, not haha)

What about gasket sealant? I suspect it's never been apart I don't
think the factory used sealant...
Also, about how much new coolant should I have on hand? 1 gal? 2 G?
Thanks
Looks pretty decent, but the mention of rust off-puts me.

Regarding the gasket, follow the factory service manual. Usually they don't
require sealant.
1 gallon of coolant is sufficient, make up the rest with tap water.

Between the clear coat issue, the potential rocker panel rust and mileage,
they're asking a bit high, if you ask me.
1984 is by far the best year for the 380SL, maybe as good as 1983, but that's a
$2500-$3500 car in my opinion.

If you're going to go aftermarket, Blaupunkt is definitely the way to go.
Since the supply of Becker aftermarket has pretty much dried up, there
aren't too many choices left.

I always use a sealant on old engines, figuring that there's a chance that
the front case is warped a bit. It only hurts when you go to replace the
pump again - hopefully that will be someone else's problem by then . . .
