Default CDR 210 audio impute upgrade

I have read all the posts and I am still a bit confused as to the best option.

I have a CDR 210 with the Hi-Fi option. Picture of my radio connections are attached.

Basically the C1 line output plug is used. C2 and C3 are not used.

If I want to keep the CDR210 is my only option the ISFM23 through the antenna or is there a way to do a direct connect to C2.

I have heard mixed reviews of the sound quality of Bluetooth through the antenna.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Since you do not have a CD Changer, you can use this - http://www.yatour.net/shop/?type=detail&id=53 (you can find it all over eBay) which emulates a CD changer. It is a combination SD card / USB reader / Bluetooth / iPod module that make the C(D)R-2(1/2)0 believe that a CDC-3 changer is attached.

Since it operates with a direct wire connection (The blue/green ISO connectors which would be right next to your yellow connector) the signal is cleaner than going through an antenna.

I use one and I like it. The thread in my signature details how I hooked it up --- but be forewarned my installation was significantly more involved because I wanted to operate a CDC-3 CD changer AND a Yatour with my Becker Head unit ......

If you don't have the CDC-3 changer, the installation would be really simple.

You can send the unit to Becker in New Jersey and they can run a line out of the back (or a jack input on the face plate if you are OK with that visually). They can also upgrade the software for a enhanced frequency range. I had this done to my CR 210, but haven't had a chance to hook it up yet... Cost is about $100 for the whole package.

I had it done based on Foxman's recommendations. It works great! I opted for a input cord that runs into the back of the CR210 unit. The upgrade is worth every penny.

I use the same as Jlaa on the 993 and it is much better than the one with the jack used on my 944 convertible.
