How to wire later model Becker radio in place of original in W116

OK, here is the situation. My 1980 300SD has a Becker "Mexico" radio with cassette. The cassette player does not work and the door for the cassette is broken, so it stays open. I would like to replace the unit with a newer Becker "Grand Prix" Model 754 from a '87 300D. I have had the "Mexico" radio out and it is hard wired, while the later "Grand Prix" model has plugs for the wires. Can someone help identify how to wire the later model radio into my '80 W116?

Here's a diagram of the power connector for the Grand Prix... There are a few other connectors on the back, but I don't have a diagram for those. The circular one is for the antenna cable, there's two side-by-side for the L and R channels, there's one near the top (I believe) all by itself - that's for the anti-theft feature - and another rectangular one, but I can't remember what it's for.
