Best is that it comes with a built-in GPS and Aux connect for Ipod or my Nokia N91 (mp3)
With the clear sound, I installed a Nakamichi amp PA504 50watts RMS x 4. Also one of the lowest THD amp on the market. (was $1600 new, +/- $200 ebay)
In the cabin, I replaced the carton nokias with infinity perfect up-front, and Kappa in the back. Cosmetically, you cannot see the difference from the original install.
For the sub, the blaupunkt odsb 5000 is one of the slimmest ACTIVE-built-in Amp sub on the market. It pumps 100 watts, and cost $100. It slips right under the passenger seat, and you forget it. 30 x 21 x 8 cms . . .

Mike, If I remember correctly, the Becker radios are not plug 'n play with the Pioneer Version CR-1 that we find in our MY95s. The CDCs are different animals as well.
I slightly modified the harness in my car when I installed my Traffic Pro (a Becker 220 chassis) a couple years ago. I don't have my file handy but I will check it out next week if you are interested.

I'll be getting my CDR-210 here in a bout a week. We'll see how it plugs and what is needed. David, I might need to pick your brain on it by then.
How do people take CR-1 out? Do we need special tools? Or a $6 bent wire universal Scosche tool from WalMart would do?

Mike, you can get the German radio remove tools, they are shaped like blunt Exacto blades. There is a little pin of either side of the chassis that has to be held in the center before you can push the radio out from the back. I used a jewelers scew driver the first time and it worked fine.
The TP came with a VW harness adapter but it there were a coulple leads reversed in the Porsche harness. Lot of good applicable info under "Traffic Pro".

Will the speed control for the spoiler work as the speed input to a CDR-210 stereo? I have a 1995, it did not have speed control with the original CR-1. The chasis doesn't have a wire going to the applicable pin. Can I just tap the spoiler wire and connect it to the chasis?
Dave
P.S. I may be dense if already explained) and not good at searching archives (I tried), but do I need to tap something for LCD illumination for the CDR-210 from a 1995 originally with CR-1?

Geolab, thanks! That's very neat. It appears that I have a newer CDR-210, so I should be able to have the illumination available.
Now, I need to look at my connectors and see if I have to find the right size female flat plug to insert into the plastic connector.

Thanks, Geolab & Dudley.
It seems from the .pdf file that this is for 1996 993s and later. I have a 1995. Can anyone confirm it will still work as explained? Seems like illumination is a no brainer (since it can be tapped from the ashtray light wire). Also, if my CDR-210 has GAL in the menu, is that sufficient to confirm it is the new software? I don't recall what the manufacture date is (and I don't have the tools to remove it). I will have to get the tools to complete this mod. I bummed them off a local shop when I lived in Kansas City!

Dave, what do you mean by reverse signal?
And also, what connector did you use for the illumination?
Once I fish out my car from teh shop I might make an appointement to stop by
