Default CDR-210 and IPod Possible?

Ok, I've done a cursory search on this and seems that many have replaced their Becker CDR-210 with a modified CDR-220 in order to have IPod compatibility.

Has anyone here tried this adapter product? Does it work? Opinions?

http://blitzsafe.com/catalog/univers.../prod_174.html

I'd like not to replace my CDR-210 if I don't have to.

The only proven way that I know of, is if you have a CD changer already wired into the stereo. You'll need to hook up the iPod through the RCA cables of the CD changer and keep a CD in the magazine to fool the radio into thinking that it's playing a CD.

The CD and CR-210 don't have an AUX input so the Blitzafe product in you link won't work unfortunately. If Blitzsafe made a box that fools the radio into thinking that it has a CD changer then you're in business. They might have, I don't know.

^This is exactly what I did. Very nice to maintain the stock look while having the ability to play the iPod.

And yes, I know this thread is three years old...

I think there have been other options in the last few years. I saw this recently, anybody has experience with it?

I have never looked at the back of my CDR-210. Is there a CD Changer Port? I thought that was the limiting factor when trying to add modern day components. Hmmmm...

Looks like a good idea, if it works.

ETA: I looked at a manual online and there are instructions for "CD Changer Operations"

I just had Becker install an auxiliary input in mine.
And apparently they have a bluetooth module that should be available mid fall that will plug right into the input

Obviously no Bluetooth, but it could be enough.

BTW. I love the new ride. I have a thing about orange on a pcar.

Thank you! Me too

Regarding the Aux in, do they still drill the front of the radio? It would be so much better if they could route it out the back.

Did you send Becker your stereo or are there local rep. outlets that can be contacted?
