My head unit is Iphone/ Ipod compatible.

Alpine Unit with front aux/usb jack and rear ipod cable. Ipod hook up is hidden in the ash tray.

Old picture but you get the idea.

Thanks. When the car goes back together, I will change it slightly. Blitzsafe makes an iPhone compatible adapter for Becker radios. That reminds me, I need to order it. Right now the aux input is a generic Blaupunkt aux input with a SendStation cable.

I don't recall exactly what I paid for the radio - it was brand new. The only downside is that I can't get updated maps for it; the latest ones are from 2003. If I was to do it again, I would have just stuck with my CDR-220 and bought the enhanced viewing faceplate. I got the HU from www.swstereo.com. Since navigation is arrows and voice, I don't use it much for GPS.

When I rebuilt the main wiring harness, I replaced the radio plug with the Becker/Blaupunkt connector.

Keep it coming guys.
If I were going to do a HU with a screen, I wouldn't do a flip-out - I go with a double DIN like the Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT. It fits in the stock location with some modification to the dash support and center console.

Personally, I don't care for the look of most new radios, especially in our cars. I wanted it to look as factory as possible.

Would these speakers fit in the door?

I have a pair of 4x6" Boston Acoustic speakers in my front doors and a pair of 6x9" Pioneer Premier speakers in the rear cubbies. The BA speakers in the doors fit well and sound decent, especially for 4x6" speakers
