That should be for the CD player in the trunk. -CTH

If only there was one still in the trunk lol Thanks I won't worry about this one then. I'm going to retape all those connections though because it seems a little unsafe to me..

Huh? Why would someone de-badge it and put "GQ" on the back? What does that mean?

I ask the same question... Yeah they had taken the "300E" off and threw it in the trunk and then put those letters on. "GQ" is that magazine that's for like celebrities I think or something... Basically meaning they were "pimp/bada$$" And what was so pimp and bada$$ about driving around in a car that was literally ripped apart and in horrible shape that rides like crap is totally beyond me... I seriously don't understand people sometimes.

Yeah, Me too. It just sort of strikes me more as a parts car, than a project car. It's just a 300E, not anything exotic, or special. It isn't even a Euro car is it?

We bought the car because it was (to me) low miles and engine runs nice and smooth... It's just the body that's all tore up...

It has come across my mind to sell this car and just look for one in better shape... Although the more I work on this car the more I'm starting to like it, the car has had a hard life and I myself have had a crappy year and I feel I can relate to the car in a way and would like to fix it up and take it with me when I go to school or move out of state. It has potential it just needs some love.

It will ride much much smoother once I have the OEM rims back on and it just needs a bunch of stupid stuff after that. 129,000 miles isn't that much in my view as when I got my 300E in high school it had 167,000 miles.

It's just fixing it up and getting it back up to par one ridiculous problem at a time lol You all are probably going to see me many a time on here now with questions about stuff that's all messed up lol.

It's nothing out of the ordinary, just the normal non euro 300E that has been abused.

I found the part number on the steering lock assy, its 124 462 12 30. I doubt you need a new column. You can use a screwdriver to operate until you get a new ignition lock cylinder. Price drop to $35 due to you car's condition
