Can anyone help I want to replace the Sony headunit in my 1997 993 C2S with an original BECKER CDR 21/210 I`m in the UK and dont know if USA ones will work any differently but any info or help in acquiring one would be much appreciated.... Thanks

I think the FM frequencies are different.

There is a Becker Instruction for changing the frequncies from US to EU or back, takes 5 mintues.

Sounds good just need to find someone who will sell me the headunit... Is there anybody out there?

Keep a sharp eye on eBay. A low price is $150. A high price is $450. I would go with a CDR 220. Still looks OEM but a much nicer unit (IMHO). Good luck.

Thanks Rinty I have emailed them....

EU FM frequencies are on even tenths (98.4, 105.2, etc) whereas US FM frequencies are on odd tenths.

can this be changed on either system do you know?

911SLOW

in some models it can be.

I have a CDR 21 if you're interested. Price is £44K - comes installed in a free 993 turbo.

have found one on ebay so lets see how silly the prices get?

I highly recommend the 220 over the 210. Not state of the art by any means but the 220 is a much better quality sound IMHO.

Last month I went through the same thing you are going through. I ended up going to a Mercede's parts place, new and used, and I bought a genuine Becker CD/tuner for $180NZ. I got the code and it's sweet. No inputs for an Ipod etc but that's not important too me anyway.
It fits strait in with no wiring mods and has the Becker logo, not Merc.
The sound is awesome for what I was after. If you have no luck with a Porsche unit give it a try. The stereo came out of a 1996 Merc.

the frequency steps can be changed on the 220 and the 210 but not on the traffic pro (found out the hard way and now have a semi-unusable traffic pro in my car)
