ok so the previous owner of my 1982 300d thought it would be cool to install an after market stereo. in doing so they chopped out the ash tray harness and original radio plug...can anyone sell me the wiring i need to take the back to original..im am good soldering etc..so if i have to ill can splice back in the original...or replace it

i want to reinstall the original becker radio...and then mod that for ipod

I have the original Becker in my 82 300CD. I will check the color of the wires tomorrow and let you know.

thanks!

My Becker Europa radio is wired: Red 16 ga. Wire 12 volt power

Black/green wire (2 wires together) Top speaker plug in

Black/white stripe/red (2wires together) Bottom speaker plug in

16 gas Black wire right back of radio (I think this is the antenna power)

Coaxial cable for antenna reception

Black 14 ga. Wire - back of radio on left (not sure what this is for).

I hope this helps.

thanx whitmore.
i didn't phrase my question properly.
i need to know if the radio harness is separate from the main harness..i want to take the radio back to stock.


if it is separate i would like to purchase it from someone...

also are the mirrors powered in a 1982 300d

I would getting a radio harness from a wrecked car and solder it in. Both mirrors on my 82 CD are manual.

so it just doesnt plug into the harness somewhere?
i am a good solderer so soldering is not a problem at all.


any one have one for sale?
we have no benz graveyards here in pittsburgh

Try Andy B. He has an 82 CD that he is parting out. I have seen the car and the radio harness is till there.

hmm cant find andy b. in the members list

EDIT: im a dork. i found him . pm sent. thanx whitmore
