so the PO of my 82 300d 123 wired an aftermarket stereo.
they cut out the ash tray wiring..and/or spliced into it.
does any one know that color the ash tray wires are...
and also what was the original radio in a 1982 was it becker?
i want to redo the harness for the radio etc.

IIRC it's red for illumination, black/yellow/green for the hot side of the lighter and brown for ground.

Definitely Becker. Maybe Mexico, -



maybe Europa -

The original radio in a 1982 W123 was the Becker Europa Model 599 (the all black model shown).

these are just simple spade connectors... correct?

Yes, two spade connectors for the cig lighter.

I saw a Becker Europa 599 in an 82 300D on the 24th in the PNP. PM me if you want it.
