o.k. o.k. Please don't or .. I just responded to your PM now that I actually have room in my inbox....

 

Thanks for the welcome

My system is stock (am/fm cassette) and is unmolested.
It is my hope to be able to unplug the cassette and plug in the cd.

ceboyd-
I'll check out your ad and get back to you.

Thanks!

yes, the whole swap should take you less than a Minute *seriously*!

...all you need is the 2 radio removal tools and it is an easy done deal!

 

I am always late on these things!!! I 'm lookng for the cdr-210 as well. Any takers?

 

yup.. sent you a pm

 

I'm also looking for a nice CDR-210. Please let me know if you have one for sale. BTW, the '95 993 may have come with an Alpine stereo. My friend's did. If that is the case, the CDR may not work so easily in that car.

 

wow.. never knew that.. mine's out of a 96 993

...sent you pm btw

 

I have had some further discussion regarding the ability to "plug and play" a CDR-210 into my current system. A factory am/fm cassette is installed as part of the 1995 Hi-Fi sound package. The radio model is a CR-01 (or CD-01 - My car is in the shop for the Harness recall at the moment) and I've been told this is, in fact, an Alpine manufactured system and IS NOT directly compatible with the CDR-210. Anyone know? Is there a system that IS directly compatible with this system?

Sorry for the nagging, but IMHO if the system isn't directly compatible, I could install a MUCH nicer Blaupunkt in-dash cd for less than the price of a used/reman'd Becker. Afterall, if you're getting into adapters and the rest you may as well go for quality, right?

Thanks, in advance, for your attention and patience with me.

Cheers,
H.O.

 

hmmm.. would a photo of the CDR210 plugs help?

I can't imagine Porsche changing the factory harness plug in like that but I guess you never know!

 

ceboyd-

Thanks.
I'll post a pic of my radio harness when I get the car back and go from there.

Best Regards,
H.O.

 

I'll try to remember to take a photo or 2 tonight and post it here for you of the back of my CDR210 unit

 

I came in late to this thread, but I too have a CDR-210 out of my 1998 993. Still new, the car only has 5K miles. Let me know if anyone is interested.

 

possibly! -sent you a pm.

 

I have a 210 single play unit that I removed from my '98 993 C2 S, It was was replace with a 220 unit....it was connected to the HiFi sound system....

I am happy to sell it to a private owner... to help a porsche addict

My 993 has a new owner......he didn't want the oringnal unit

In that I don't check the PM box, just leave a note here

Ciao
