Yep, just what I want to do.........dump $1900. in a radio.........

No thanks, my Alpine does an excellent job for $150.

THAT IS REALLLY AWSOME. but i have to agree with the above poster that 1900 is really alot, and for $1900 i could easly spend on more repairs for my baby in making her more perfect

For that kind of money I can buy an original Becker Mexico and personally deliver it to Becker in Germany for restoration, while my wife and I tour Europe.

find a junker one with a perfect face.. and put a modern one in the glove compartment.. you can figure out the wiring and fm selection etc

That divorce is going to cost a hell of a lot more than the radio, Jimmy.

Humm. $1,900 radio or 4 parts cars?

For $1,900 I can install a navi in the SDL that pops up with a nice screen.

I'd rather install a navi for that kind of money, besides that radio wouldn't look right in a W126. To dated for that car, it would fit right in on a W115/116.

From a sound persepective I doubt that, that head unit is any better then a modern one you can pick up for $100-$300. If you want real good sound spend your money on AMP's.

If you took that $1,900 and spent it on 4 high end speakers,($500) and purchase a nice amp ($500), a modern head unit that works with Ipod, XM, and AM/FM or course($300), you would blow that radio away.

WOw thats a lot of coin, over 3X the cost of Rag Doll...and still less money than I spent on her not including the paint. And that 1900 includes a Kenwood Head unit and Polk speakers! That would be nice to have the "Correct" look tho, but I guess its not THAT important to me.

Good find! Now if I won that mega millions....

I just installed a head unit that flips over and hides when it's turned off. When it's hidden, the black plastic looks stock enough. The LCD radio doesn't, but I could always swap it out for a stock unit if I wanted to make it look correct.

$24bux got me a wired FM modulator with shipping. Works great, listen to my mp3s with 0 distortion. Not quite CD quality but not far off either.

Thanks POS.

I seemed to work fine when I posted it.
There was no mention of price where I found this so
I had no clue as to how much it was.

Yep, $1900 is a steep price and I for sure wouldn' spend
that much but some will.
Hey, some people think that spending $15K or more on
a 20+ year old car is crazy, but yet some do.

Louis.
