I had mine all set up and been using it for years. My 4th generation iPod nano broke and I tried to use my iPhone 4S...and it does not work. I do get a message on the phone that says it does not support charging however. Recommendations? and, thanks in advance.

Yes, that is the one that I am using, plugs into the back of the CDR-220 via an adapter I got from Becker and the iPod. Charges the iPod and provides line out inot the Aux of the CDR-220. The fit behind the CDR-220 is tight, and I also needed to use a ground loop isolator to eliminate "whining" so there are a LOT of cables to get behind the CDR-220. It is very snug, but it all fits.
One precaution: when you push the radio in, have the radio tuned to an AM radio station. With all the wires, the antenna may pull out of the CDR-220, causing loss of reception. If you leave the radio on while you are installing, you will know immediately if this has happened. Don't use FM, as FM may work without an antenna if you are in the city. I took me a few tries, but once it is all in, it doesn't need to come out.

this is a response to a post I made a year ago. The cable supplied by Becker was bad. It toasted two cdr 220 head units. I sent the cable and two head units to Becker. They tested all of them and determined that their cable caused the issue. They covered the cost of the cable and the two head units. They ended up working out a deal on a Becker 7990. I still haven't installed it. Becker told me that they are coming out with an adapter that will allow the 7990 bluetooth to work with both the phone and stored music, etc. as well. It is supposed to be out in about four months. Meanwhile I came across another cdr 220 and will install it until the 7990 bluetooth adapter comes out. I think that I will pay the extra dollars to becker for their adapter, just in case I have another issue. I am not sure that the cable sellers on ebay will cover the head unit for a bad cable. I still have to order the revised faceplate from becker or sw audio, $100 from becker, $50 from sw audio. Thanks Phil

Becker sold this one. They had Euro and US models. The box that mine came in had US written on it. The guy that I talked to at Becker told me that if was US ready. I haven't installed it yet so I can't talk to any issues. When I talked to Becker earlier this week, he told me to absolutely not get rid of the 7990, they are no longer available. Phil
