Does anyone have any experience with the newer Becker radios?

I played with one in a 2000 Porsche 911, and it really suited such a classy car - elegant, great to use, simple but without seeming low-tech or old fashioned, and with great sound quality.


The classy looks would suit an MB much better than a flashing-light-display ugly thang.

Most of the 1990s Mercedes-Benz OEM head units were re-bodied Beckers, the Audio 10 and Audio 30 as well as the Audio 30 APS. The wireless in my SL is an Audio 30; my father had a Becker Mexico set in his Porsche 996. I am no car audio buff, but I really like them. The sound is more neutrally presented than other units: less bass and treble enhancement. I think the sound in the SL is first rate. Also, the tuners are widely regarded as the best, so if you listen to the wireless a lot they have something to offer you. Personally, the look of the head unit alone (whether bodied for MB or stock Becker) is enough to swing it for me.
