[R129 SL] sl500 original radio

[Jan Kuylaars]

Eva,
if you mail me your address in stead of a postbox I can see if FedEx will
send the parcel with costs on your behavior.
I do not believe that the post will do so. my mail is
j.kuylaars at kpnplanet.nl
And my VIN ( vehicle identification number ? ) is not useable for the radio,
because it was not sold in this car.
So you need a dealer who can get the code by the serial number of the radio.
The numbers on the radio are BP075089699414 Boston CC 20 7640 750 013
It is a version you can take of the apartment with a handle and take it with
you.
Of course beautiful in a R129 !
If it is a dealer, they know that the radio is not stolen, and give the
number.
Besides the radio is old enough to be not interested for thief's.
They want a radio with MP3 and DVD instead of a cassette player.
This is for the special people who wants to have original stuff.
I even have Philips car radio from the 60 with the first FM reception.

Jan

  Hi Eva

   I believe your local MB dealer can activate the radio. I had mine done
once when the battery was replaced, I recall they asked for the vin number
to look up the code. With that they were able to punched in the code to get
the radio working. Not sure how they would do it with a replacement radio,
but I'm sure they would figure something out, give them a call.

    Flying Dutchman, How kind of you to offer the Blaupunkt Boston CC20.  I
would love to have it.  I will pay the shipping charges.  My address is PO
Box 7045, Chula Vista, CA 91912.

    By the way do you have any idea how to activate it.  I understand that
the first cassette ever played on the stereo would help.  Is that true?  Do
you remember? If not I would find a way to activate it.



    Thanks



    Eva

    If you wish you can have a Blaupunkt Boston CC20 with casetteplayer for
free.

    The problem is that I forget the code.

    So you must have someone to activate the radio.

      New Zealand must be beautiful at 68!  Thanks for all the tips.  I have
several emails to some shops but I have not received a response yet.  I
believe it's a Becker from Germany.



      Will see what happens.  Let me know if you know of any other shops
that sell the fm/am radios.  Tks

      Thanks George,



      Never seen a Becker Mexico unit!  We have other models here in New
Zealand and predominantly from the Japanese and European markets.



      Have a great day.  Nice morning here - 68 degrees F and rising, and I
can just see a few of the 200 windmills slowly churning out electricity on
the distant horizon.



      Regards, Peter S.

        Peter - my 1990 500SL had a Becker Mexico 2000 installed from new
and I have the original instruction book with it. Two years ago, I purchased
and installed the 'correct' Becker Silverstone 10 CD changer which went with
the radio at that time. As you said, in those days they were not shockproof
and it can skip on rough roads. I bought the CD changer from a guy in
southern Germany who specialises in restoring 90's German radios and has
always several for sale but I cannot recall his details - if I do, I will
post them.

        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

        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 anyone know where I can buy one?

          Thanks
