Newbie here.

I have an 89 300SE and want to replace original equipment; head unit and back speakers. Back speakers seem to crackle at any significant volume.

Any recommendations on a specific brand? I would love to find one that doesn't have BLUE face illumination but better matches the rest of car. I read earlier threads here about the Nakamichi...maybe a potential since it looks like it belongs there.

Also, has anyone had experience with any of the installers in Austin, Texas? Maybe a chain store like Custom Sounds?

And lastly a question about the alarm system, anyone know if i can just add a keyless entry after market to the alarm system or will I need to replace the alarm system on this car to get keyless entry. I wouldn't think so but have not been able to find a manual on this car yet to verify.

Thanks in advance to all who respond. I have had several Volvos and one BMW. This is my first MB and I can only say, "I love this car!"
