Get this...
Ok guys get this---
First let me clarify this: the music sounds bad when I play tapes, or my portable CD player (by tape adapter). Also, FM doesn't work in this car. I contacted Becker Audio and they said I don't recieve FM because in the tuner in the trunk, the capicitors in the FM circuit leak over time and spill gunk all over the whole circuit. This indeed will cause distortion in the music they said. Anyway, they quoted me $125 to replace it plus shipping. Being a skeptic, I pulled the tuner out of the trunk and opened it up. SURE ENOUGH, there was this caramel looking gunk all in it, and some of the capacitors were busted open. Maybe because of heat in the trunk??? I'm pretty good with this sorta stuff, so I'm gonna replace the capacitors, clean the gunk out, then see. If this dosen't work, I'll buy a new tuner. If that dosen't clean the sound up, THEN I'll buy new speakers. Sorry to write so much, but I think this info may help alot of 124 owners. THanks for the replies...
