Missing the AC1111 plug and wiring loom, which clearly stated in the description it is included. Disappointed.

Bought the unit but the package is missing the AC1111 plug. Had to return it.

After replacing an unappealing aftermarket stereo with the TR7412UB-OR in my 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL, I am thoroughly impressed by the blend of classic aesthetics and contemporary features this model offers. Design and Aesthetics: The VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR radio is a perfect match for the classic dashboard of the Mercedes 420 SEL. Its European style and orange display not only complement the vintage charm of the car but also add a touch of modernity without being overbearing. The sleek black finish and minimalistic button layout ensure that the radio looks original to the vehicle, maintaining the classic interior that Mercedes owners cherish. Installation and Fit: Installing the TR7412UB-OR was straightforward, fitting seamlessly into the space occupied by the previous aftermarket stereo. I couldn’t find a good wiring harness or diagram and had to watch YouTube videos of other aftermarket stereo installs; I am still not able to get the radio to turn off with the car, but I can turn it off before leaving the vehicle. The snug fit and flush finish make it appear as a factory-installed unit. Functionality and Performance: Despite its classic look, the TR7412UB-OR boasts modern functionalities that enhance the driving experience. It supports AM/FM radio, has Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calls and audio streaming, and includes inputs for USB and SD cards. This mix of features is ideal for enjoying both traditional radio and modern conveniences. Sound Quality: The sound quality of the TR7412UB-OR is a significant upgrade over the previous stereo. It delivers clear and robust audio, which is quite impressive considering the age of the vehicle. The system handles different music genres well, providing crisp highs and full-bodied lows, which is a testament to its compatibility with the car’s original speakers. Display and Usability: The orange display not only looks attractive but is also practical, offering excellent visibility during both day and night without being distracting. The user interface is intuitive, making it easy to switch between functions or tracks. The buttons and knobs provide a tactile response and are conveniently placed for easy reach while driving. All other aftermarket stereos seem to project a bright LED light in multiple colors, distracting from the car's design and driving experience. Overall Experience: The VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR radio is an exceptional choice for anyone looking to enhance their classic car’s audio system without compromising its vintage appeal. It fits perfectly in the 1987 Mercedes 420 SEL and operates nearly flawlessly, providing a modern twist to the classic driving experience. I highly recommend the VDO Continental TR7412UB-OR to any classic car enthusiast who wants to upgrade their audio system while preserving the authentic look of their vehicle. This radio provides an excellent combination of style, functionality, and sound quality, making it a top choice for vintage car upgrades.

Easy to install but note that Mercedes changes the pin setting on the harness for many of the same models depending on which radio you had installed so you may need to repin two of the harness wires on your car that were repinned by the dealer. Great customer support (make sure to re-pair your devise when you get a new phone) Good sound quality and radio/bluetooth functions. Great looks, great fit.
