I thought the item made it clear they were copies.
Any suggestions for a better source?
I want to fit my Ham rig into the car, so I want to be able to run the control cable from the boot to the slot under the Audio CD, so I would like to know how to get under carpets.
I would use an independant dealer, but usualy they are expensive , and don't understand whats required...
Sorry I didn't read his ad very carefully but eBay will not be too happy about him selling copies.
As for getting under the carpets, just lift them up. You'll find that Merc carpets have molded padding which slots into various tracks. You should easily be able to run any cable you like to the rear.
BTW, I used to be into HAM radio too, along time ago. Have a license in the US which has since expired.
