1995 E320 W124 Wagon
Newbi here
Hello everyone! I am a new guy here. Just a short introduction of me: I have a background serving in the Navy in both ships and a submarine. After I left the Navy I became a professional auto technician and have worked multiple car lines in my first 10 years doing that and eventually found the line I liked best which was Nissan/Infiniti. I retired in early 2017 as a Master Technician for infiniti which also includes Nissan and I was the shop foreman since 2006.
I have recently acquired a fine example of a 1995 E320 Wagon with only 72,000 miles on it. When I got it almost everything did not work and it had been sitting under a live oak tree for 3 years. Now I have completed bringing the car back to life and repairing all that was broken so that the car drives as nearly to new as I can make it.
What brings me here (I wish I had known about this site earlier, it might have saved me some headaches lol), I am upgrading the audio system and I am replacing the head unit and all speakers and adding a small amp. This car does have active bass. What I am after is a good wiring diagram of that audio system and maybe some pointers from folks who have done this before. I have found some older posts here on this site but have not found any links to my model specific wiring diagrams. Does anyone have such a thing?
Thanks for reading my post and I look forward to interacting with y'all!!

Hello!
Welcome to MBWorld and thank you for the introduction!
That is very low mileage for a 1995 and I love to see a discarded MB recovered from the dead.
I'm sure your auto repair skills will be of great value to this community. Have fun!

Welcome. Thank you for your service. Great pictures. The W124 is one of MB's best. I would suggest that you post your question in the W124 section of the forum where there'll be W124 owners who'll be more than glad to help you. You might also contact the MB Classic Center in CA. They can also assist. BTW, you would love my garage lol, I have an MB and a Nissan.
