Becker Grand Prix Needed
Hello my Benz-Friends,
I'm looking to replace the 90s aftermarket garbage radio that is in my 1987 300D. It is old, doesn't work well, and I would prefer to just have the original Becker radio back. I'm not a radio aficionado, and I don't know exactly what model would be in my car, I believe its the "Grand Prix". Does anyone have one I could buy and have shipped to Canada, and not for 250$?
Thanks!
Riley

Trouble is with this vintage stereo is that the speakers will need to be replaced also and they are special to the vehicle at lower ohms, so a drop in like a Kenwood speaker would not work, actually it would sound worse.
You'll roll the dice with an ebay find that is 'cheap'....if you do get an old one off like ebay, send it to Becker for refurbishment.

Thanks to you both, I actually bought a 1987 260E parts car for $600 and it had the radio, it works well. I'll probably send it off to Becker for refurbishment.
