I think I've finally gotten the Traffic Pro 7881 installed
in the SEL. Maybe my wife will shut up about not having a
CD player now.
It was a royal pain, to avoid butchering the car I had to fabricate
a male power connector, I used 10-gauge solid copper wire and
a small block of Mpingo wood.

I don't recall if it was mentioned earlier, but I wondered exactly what a
Traffic Pro does. I found a description at,
Does it need a nav CD for its current location, or will it tell you
where
you are without it?
I don't know, as I don't have a GPS antenna on it.
I suspect it'll give you lat/long, but that'd be it.

This was a take-out from some other MB. Nothing

I'm surprised that Becker NA wouldn't be helpful. I haven't
tried contacting them yet, I just got the thing.

Actually, I think you can expect help from Becker.
In addition, you shouldn't have any problem finding the installation manual
