Hello - I am a new MB owner - just bought a 1995 500 SL and have three problems -
1. The stock radio LCD backlight is broken. The radio seems to work, but it would be nice to have the LCD display working. i would prefer not replacing the entire radio, but ifthereis not a simple fix, any suggestions on a good radio that will mate withthe Bose 6 CD changer in the trunk?
2. There is no backlight on the transmission gear selector tunnel. At night, I need to put on the interior lights to detemine which gear I am in. Is this just a Mercedes idiosyncrisy, or is there a simple bulb replacement?
3. The ventillation system is odd in that I can only get air through the floor vents - nothing through the dash. What is going on

Any Ideas?

Also - does anyone have a design out there they would be willing to share regarding a homemade hoist system for the hardtop?
