Forgot to notice that you are the OP. When I purchased my '89 300CE, the seller had an aftermarket radio in it. Not sure what it was except that it was a CD unit and looked awful. Besides, I have a pretty large library of Louis L'Amour Western audio cassettes that I still listen to frequently. Thinking that the coupes would always be more desirable than the sedans, I wanted to keep the car as OEM as possible. I found a Becker on eBay from a 1990 (or 1991) coupe from a local seller. Since he sold the car a long time ago, he didn't have the VIN, I had to pay for a new circuit board to be installed so I would know the code and put the unit into the CE. Perhaps you can find an eBay Becker?
