[W126 Coupe] trunk mounted CD

[mavris2 at comcast.net]

Just a reminder that the OEM Becker uses a tuner pack in the trunk for 
reception so, if you have so, so radio reception you'll probably get the 
same type from the FM type cd changers.  Its been my experience after two 
tuner packs being rebuilt I decided to just go with an aftermarket in dash 
cd player with a built in digital tuner/ digi reciver.  No more fuzzys.
