I have a '91 300E with the stock OEM radio w/cassette player. I'd like to be able to play CD's and have an Alpine head I took out of my BMW.

I actually like the sound of the factory radio. It's got plenty of base and I get good radio reception. If I swap the Becker for the Alpine, will it sound better, the same or worse? I have heard that to change would require a complete re-wire. Is there a simple way to hook it up without completely re -wiring?

If I'm happy with the sound I get, would I be better off with a CD changer in the trunk that plays throuh the radio?

Thaks in advance.
