The cheapest optional radio (AM/FM Casette, 4 spkrs) was $425 (Cdn). It didn't look like much, and sounded pretty bad, so we deceided to look at an after market radio. I was amazed at what you could get for the same price. Anyway, to make a long story short, we went to a couple of dealers who put together some nice packages ranging from $300 to ~$500 installed. We then went to another very reputable place and the dealer put together a package that was hard to resist. The sound is absolutely FANTASTIC, and the radio has some very nice features. The only reservation is that I have never heard of the name. It is a Grundig (German), which is supposedly standard equipment in Mercedes. Has anyone heard of this brand? The other choice is Blaupunkt, which I've heard alot about, but is slightly more expensive and with less features. Please mail me any info you have Thank you -- Steve Grice "For all you do ...philabs!micomvax!steve disk bugs for you"
