🔧 Item Description

Genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM Becker/Alpine Head Unit.

This is the standard factory unit featuring a dedicated cassette deck and full integration with the vehicle's fiber-optic system.
Includes the main head unit assembly with the original volume knob and all preset buttons intact.

✔️ Radio Tuner: AM/FM/Weatherband reception is strong; seeks and locks onto stations correctly.
✔️ Audio Output: Tested all channels; sound is balanced and clear.
✔️ Button & Knob Response: The volume/power knob turns smoothly with no "skipping." All preset and function buttons provide firm, tactile feedback.

🧼 Condition & Inspection

Professionally cleaned and sanitized.
Faceplate Condition: Excellent cosmetic shape; the high-wear "Volume" and "Power" markings are crisp and legible.
Chassis: No damage to the mounting clips or metal housing. Rear D2B fiber-optic and power ports are clean and free of bent pins.
