Oh I know. Ive been around w123 cars long enough to recognize that issue, and it is yet another reason why I dont care to mount it there.

No offense, but Ive always disliked aftermarket head units because they are just too gawdy for my taste. I send my head units to Becker for refurbishment and ipod/aux input retrofit, and they work great. An external amplifier is my approach.

I had mounted a CD changer there on my '83 300D, and it worked fine. This should be shorter and the point of grounding directly is a good one...
