I've seen interface modules in specialty car audio stores that handle the fiber optic-to-wire conversions...not cheap though. ISO to fiber-optic mostly. Your system probably used the 8-pin DIN connection.

The standard ISO connectors should also be available, and for the most part, you can splice the OEM Becker connections on your 90 just fine. You will need some way to figure out what's what on your '99 head unit...hopefully there is a decal somewhere on the unit that tells you.

I did an install on my 93 W124 with a Blaupunkt head unit, and it used ISO connections. That was the easy part of my install. I have yet to get an ISO-to-DIN interface to get my OEM changer working with the new head unit...an also-pricey item...
