W115 Stereo
This is a repost from the audio board
Hey, I have a '76 240D w/ the original Becker Europa Am/Fm radio w/ the one speaker in the center of the dash. I have been wrestling w/ the idea of replacing that with a stereo. I'd like to be able to keep the car as orginal as possible though and put minimum impact into the car. What do you guys think? Suffer through the poor sound until the Becker dies, or buy a nice aftermarket system and start cutting holes? It got no response from that forum. For those of you w/ 115's what kind of stereos do you have? Any Recommendations? I am looking to spend less than $500 if I do decide to go aftermarket.

Re: W115 Stereo
I have a thought about this too and have yet to decide exactly what I want to do. One plan I had was to keep the original stereo in but add a hidden CD player.
BTW Has anybody had problems with there original stereos getting stolen? I've wondered if they look old enough that theives will ignore them or not.

To minimize hacking up your interior, I'd suggest adding a single matching speaker to the center of the rear shelf, behind the back seat. My 250C has the factory Blaupunkt stereo radio with a 4 X 7 speaker in the dash and a matching 4 X 7 speaker in the rear. It sounds much better than the 4 speaker Becker setup that came in my '72 250 sedan. If you still have the cardboard panels under the dash, you can mount a pair of modern speakers there like I did in my sedan.
Happy Motoring, Mark
