@cypnk really? because it looks /very much/ like Mercedes.

@saxnot Here it is turned. The shape was just a coincidence

@cypnk okay here it is turned. Yet in your other screenshot (where the device was opened) it looked like it was fixed to the front

@cypnk either way, they can have it look like whatever they want.
I aasume this product is so old that M. has no interest in sueing anymore

@saxnot Both the radio and the Mercedes marque were around at the same time. The fixture rotates and is indented, not convex as in the Mercedes logo

@saxnot The Mercedes logo protrudes, if that’s a better word, whereas the radio dial is actually bent inward (concave?)

@saxnot From another angle. Here, you can see that the star shape is actually indented
