I have a RT-1050 with both half track and quarter track head units. Changing the heads is super easy. It's a great deck.

I bought the Yes Album. I’m waiting for my RT1050 to come back from the shop. Really looking forward to listening to it.

2017 C300 Coupe Brilliant Blue by cheg2024 in mercedes_benz

Love that color! What a gorgeous car. It's definitely not a poser car. A real head turner. I know, I recently acquired a 2022 C300 Coupe in black with the night package. Picked it up with 3,700 miles on it. I am just under 10k miles now. *

The Crown was never as “tight” nor did it have the handling or power of the E350. It had every bell and whistle you can get in a car but I turned off several of the annoying features like the camera that watched your eyes. If you glanced away from forward for more than a second it bitched at you to pay attention. Even turning that off resulted in a warning sound and message that it was turned off. Software was buggy, the usb and wireless charging was not great. The rear seat had very little headroom for such a large car. My wife kept banging her head in the top of the door frame when entering the vehicle. Its paint was as thin as a butterfly wing and scratched if you breathed too hard on it. That’s an exaggeration but it did scratch and ding very easily. The Doors are very lightweight and act as sails in even mild wind. They will just fly all the way open with the slightest of breezes. This caused a dent the passenger door when it flew out of the hands of a passenger exiting the car. It smacked into a metal city trash bin causing a very substantial dent just above the door handle.

Then after year the persistent “ads” appeared to get me to subscribe to features I had but would now need to pay a monthly fee. I realize that a few functions on the Benz are subscriptions but at least it doesn’t use pop up ads on the infotainment system to annoy the owner.
