Need a connector!
I have a Porsche CR-1 radio with the Blaupunkt BQA-80 amp hiding under the passenger seat. They connect to one another via an 8-pin DIN. The radio's (very short) cable terminates in a female connector, whereas the amp's (very long) cable terminates in a male connector.
Blaupunckt's technical advisor steered me to their parts & service people in the US. The parts & service people say the radio's too old for them to even know what the connector is, let alone have one to sell me.
If anyone has a dead CR-1 or CD-1, I'd dearly love to get the cable and connector from it. Hack it off at the radio (so it has at least some wire for me to solder connectors to it) and I'm a happy bunny. If you want to get all serious and dig inside the radio to remove the wires where they attach, that'd be OK, but a load of bother.
I don't have a whole lot to trade, but I will have a set of stock headlights to swap as soon as I figure out where the headlight wires run so I can replace them with 12 ga. wires when I get the H4 units installed. If that's not what you need, name your price.

I am in the process of upgrading my stereo. I think I have the cable you need. I am not going to need it, so you can have it.
PM me and we can discuss shipping.
I also have a little nicer Blaupunkt head unit (CD) that matches the original pretty well (all black), will send a pic if you are interested. Not to mention the stock amp. I would take $25 for the CD player and I will throw in the amp.
Let me know.
