Any updates?

I'm considering replacing the toasted factory CD changer in my '92 with and iPod system (ex-wife took the iPod so I need to buy a new one anway any idea if certain ones are to be avoided?)

So far all the threads I've read address '94+ MBZ except there is a brief mention of a Star article about wiring in Aux (iPod) input into just about any Becker radio. I've not had the MBCA membership in years so I don't have the relevant issue. I wonder if I can back-order it (don't even know the issue... can anyone help there on that info?)

I'm pretty handy with audio installs since I used to do it for a living so getting agro with the wiring does not scare me. Just need to find some pointers / docs on what wires are safe to use.

I did notice that if I unpluged the multi-wire cables into the changer the head unit would not turn on. Seems to be some signal from the CD changer that it wants to see. So if I delete the CD changer and install the iPod will I run into issues that require some hoops to be hopped?

Of all the threads this one seemed the most current and mentioned a relevant body style (W124) ever other thread was mostly about W140's
