I just picked up my car today with the new Toyo Versado LXII's on. Very nice and quiet.
I don't think you would be making a bad choice with these.

Another how to bypass W124 fader

So it's cold outside and your fader is messing up and you don't want to pull the radio out to do all that rewiring. Pop the wood trim and solder these three terminals together on each side.

Tool Rental

I'm trying to rent a ball joint and sub frame bushing tool for an '87 300E W124.
I've tried the tool rental list and nobody has them. I'd love to do these jobs myself . Anyone?
