[W126 Coupe] trunk mounted CD

[Axel Wulff]

Richard,

My current setup in my 1990 560 SEC is a Sony CD changer in the trunk 
connected to the Becker OEM radio. The CD sound is on my FM dial and the is 
not half bad.

However, I am evaluating the Nakamichi CD 400 as a replacement for the 
Becker/Sony setup.

I have found a lot of the other stuff on the market a bit "out of place" 
with their neon-lit faceplates and flashy graphics. The Nakamichi is quite 
restrained and I think it will be a good replacement, style-wise, for the 
Becker OEM units.



Regards,
Axel J. Wulff
