  Peter,



  Thank you so much for the info.  WOW It's quite a lot for me to diget but
I believe this info is expanding my knowledge on sls, which I am glad to
learn. I am not sure what was installed at the time the sls was
manufactured.  When I bought the sl it came with a SONY CD player.  Then I
installed an mp3 which was stolen from my apt parking garage during the
holidays  Now I want the original instead of buying some fancy system.



  tks



  eva

  Hi Eva,



  There are a number of 'original' radios installed in the SL 129 and it
depends on the specification asked for by the first customer or what was
installed in the car at the time!   Mine is an original Blaupunkt CD unit
( the CD goes into a special holder) and it was possibly one of the first CD
units installed in a car.  No anti 'jumping' so it skips when on rough
roads.  There is the original amplifier located under the floor mats on the
passengers side.



  Need to have a look at a lot of 129's and see which one to choose.  I
understand that all/most were Blaupunkt brand.



  For information, Blaupunkt GmbH (German for "point of blue" or "blue dot")
is a German electronic equipment manufacturer, noted for its home and car
audio equipment. It is a 100% subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. Founded in
1923 in Berlin as "Ideal", the company changed its name to "Blaupunkt" in
1938, after the blue dot painted onto its headphones.



  For many years, Blaupunkt car audio equipment models often carried the
name of a city somewhere in the world, eg "London RDM126". In Blaupunkt
model nomenclature, this can be translated as "An RDS CD player capable of
controlling a Multichanger, rated at 4x30W RMS (4x30 = 120) from model year
1996". High-end models typically had German place names.



  Blaupunkt also used the brand "Velocity" to sell products aimed at a lower
cost market. Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Mercedes and BMW all fit Blaupunkt
products into their cars, often branded with the car manufacturer's own mark
(eg The VW Gamma or BMW Symphony lines).



  Hope this helps.

  Kind Regards, Peter S (New Zealand).

    I am interested in installing an original radio on my sl500 1991.  Does
