A. Model 129

Note:
In cases of customer requests, a deluxe handset with keypad and display is available to replace the standard handset. The deluxe handset can be installed in all model 129 vehicles and in the storage compartment of model 140 vehicles W/O rear A/C. The deluxe handset does not fit in the armrest of model 140 vehicles with rear A/C. As of MY 1993 the handset harness must be rerouted on model 140 vehicles to accommodate the deluxe handset (see S.I. MBNA 82/64). An extension handset cord for model 140 is also available to allow rear seat passengers access to the cellular telephone.
