Option list W116 - The full Monty!

Just heard the trunk thingy carries the number H106/107 2 70
Does that ring a bell with anyone?

My 6.9's phone is definitely aftermarket, not factory:



I still have no idea what that extra wood with a red light mounted in it is for...maybe part of an aftermarket car alarm?  There were blue Fiamm horns mounted under the hood.  I removed them already as the wiring was broken and it did not appear to be factory either.

OK, so now we know what it looks like,....so does anyone know how/where this mounts in the glove box? 

[floyd111]

I have the option to buy it next week.. Not sure whether to do so.

[UTn_boy]

If the price is right, buy it.  Whether you use it or not won't make too much difference, especially if it ends up being passed on to another W116 member.   

[floyd111]

That is true. Was it you or Ptashek that asked about this item last week?

[UTn_boy]

It was I.

The extra wood panel originally housed the VK5 verkerskurier control, early analog traffic RDS system.  Quite a few 6.9's seem to have had this option.  On your car, the switch has been removed and covered over with a home-made black panel.

So this is the item that needs the modified, special glove box?

In all cases, I will await the price. Very likely I will pass it on. The items in my cars all need to be crispy new old stock.
Also, I have my hands full invisibly fitting the (secondary) high end audiophile system. I already avoided the cassette-Becker and went for the mono-version, to avoid further complications/breakdowns in the future.

talking points..

I know of a few centre-divider cars, but first time I've seen it in a SWB.
