Late W124 have antenna switch?
Do late model (1994-95) W124s have an antenna up-down switch as in earlier models or does the Becker 1492/1692 "know" to extend the antenna for radio functions but not for tape or CD playing?
I'm getting ready to install a 1492 in my '87 300D and if I can eliminate the antenna switch I can find a good use for the switch position. I have the schematic for the Becker but it isn't clear as to exactly how the power antenna lead is configured. Jeremy

The 1432 just leaves the antenna up all the time it is switched on, and cars fitted with that system don't have a control for the antenna... kind of annoying. It would be nice if the later ones did put the antenna down when it isn't needed.

1492 does not have it, AFAIK. This came in my 560 (1991 MY) and I do not have this feature.

A 91 560 would have a 1432 with volume toggle vs volume knob in a 1492.

Oh yes, the 32 has the switch like the others with all the main equipment in the trunk.
