I would like to replace the std. Becker Grand Prix radio in my 1989 420 sel with a in dash cd player.Somthing that looks like it belongs in a MB. Also must be easy to install and be capable of playing mp3 & wave.I do not want to replace any speakers or amps.I have seen many on sale at Best Buys & circuit city but i do not know which brand or how many watts this system can handle? Need help.THANKS

Nice radio, but it says will fit 1999 and up i have a 1989.I dont know if it will fit.

It will fit. I have a 2002 SLK radio in my 1994. Plugs right in...

Will this plug right into my car without any faceplate,or adapters?

I'm not the seller so I can't guarantee that it'll fit but I know that my 2002 Deck plugged right up and slide right in.

The radio will fit the opening but the connectors are not the same. They changed in 94 to the newer style

I guess I just lucked out with my C280 then. I also have a 93 190E that I plan to put a 2002 stereo in. How are the connectors different?

SCLJA: Do you have these connectors and is this an easy install? Also will i need a line driver or will this radio work with the existing fader swich?

Black c 280 the 93 has different plugs plus it is two piece and the tuner in the trunk. I do carry a euro harness that will plug into your radio and give you the inputs and outputs, there will be some other parts needed also.

420 I have the harness and a adjustable high to low level adapter the will allow it to plug into the fader/ amlpifier input.

SCLJA:I was out bid on that radio.Do you sell a radio that will fit into my 89 420 sel and adaptors that will plug into my existing wiring and work as good as old radio or better.I know nothing about electronics or wiring, good directions is a must.I only want a simple am,fm,cd in dash radio that will sound half desent.

I usually use the alpine radios and their am fm cd's I use start@ $220.00 and go up from there. I recommend that the stock amps get removed from the system in order to keep you from having to fix them if or when they break. If you buy from me I can assist you on the install.
