Thanks for the reply. I'll have to think on what approach to take. Re-wiring shouldn't be too difficult. Not sure I want to mess with the hassle of radio codes on the newer radios. But, I found a simple way to always remember the code. Lifting up the vanity visor on the driver's side sun visor is the MB sticker with the telephone number for emergency service. I just handwrote with a sharpy under the number, "operator x1234", (where 1234 is the radio code). Never have to worry about losing the code anymore.

(p.s. I'm not too worried about theft. Who in their right mind would want to steal a late '80s vintage radio anyway?)
