No. Not unless you completely rewire things. But that’s no different than any other aftermarket radio you might try and install in the component type Becker system. Nothing is a drop in replacement for the Becker systems with the separate amp and tuner/head units. -D > On Mar 31, 2017, at

It uses a standard DIN connector, like mid 90s and later MBs use. The alternative is a Metra harness for about $15.00. -D Sent from my iPad > On Mar 31, 2017, at 12:45 PM, Randy Bennell via Mercedes > wrote: > > What do they mean by "without harness"? > $50 seems a

About the only thing I know for you to do would be to look at the two pages of the schematic covering the gauges for the 126. Look at all the wires going to the gauges labeled as C151. That's the round plug. On the other side of the wire from the C151 is the number of the location in the plug.
