"Without wanting to pass judgement on the sense of CE Markings or lack thereof,
one must not forget, that (at least in DL) if you want to use a "new" rig in a
"new" car, then it *must* have a CE Marking."

In the EU anything added to a car, including radio equipment, must also carry an "e" mark in addition to a "CE" mark.

More work for Eric and Wayne!

Wouldn't that apply only if it is fitted to the vehicle, not perched
on the seat and operated while the vehicle is parked?

According to 2004/104/EG, not anymore. A CE Marking plus the correct
documentation from the car manufacturer is all that is needed now.

Yes, only if the equipment is a permanent part of the vehicle, like the radio/stereo/etc does it need the e mark.
