Factory CB Radio? - mo1971fordcrew - 02-22-2015
Hey all,
When I was doing my manual climate control swap I noticed a CB radio looking coaxial wire under my dash. It appears to go with the factory wire loom. I also traced the wire to behind the spare tire on my wagon. It's a 1980 300TD. Did these things have such option?
Here are some pics:

My '81 300TD turbo has the same CB setup. My '82 might also but I haven't looked for it.
I was hoping to see if MB sold/optioned a specific CB radio for their cars or if that was up to the buyer. It'd be fun to have.

I had a Corvette with a CB built into the factory radio. The antenna was integrated into the regular power antenna. The radio would automatically mute for the CB. It was pretty cool.

My 83 240D had the same exact set up. I never knew I had it until it was hitting the blower motor and causing this weird clicking sound. I removed it.

I think they all came with them.

Weird! It would be cool to find out what radio they stuck in these (if they did) . For the time being, I think I will just put a generic one in!

I had a 1984 pommy 240TD that was setup like that. My mechanic reckoned it was the old car phone system or something.
Oh and mechanic is restoring said car...
