Becker Tape Deck Upgrade

I was looking for a way to upgrade the stock becker tape player/radio in my W124 and trying to avoid doing a complete rewire of the entire system and I ran across this website, awesome site with pictures that shows how to use 100% all factory connectors/amps/fader with a new cd player

enjoy! unless someone else has already posted this...

Radios from the old era are all 2-channel.

All new radios are 4-channel.

Using only 2 channels of the new radio means you're using only half its power.

well the goal of this setup is to not use the cd player's power, but to use thepower from the factory amps. That's why he used the RCA outs from the cd player instead of the speaker wires. Doing it this way saves a lot of time/money. I just did it today and it sounds great and it was easy, cheap, I didn't hack all the factory wiring up, didn't have to replace any speakers to get the correct ohm rating, just plug and play
