Being new to the world of European cars, I've been wondering how the Becker line compares to other high end manufacturers. Is this thing equivalent in quality to high end japanese stereos? Is this plug an play in the 996 with the stock amp?

It's a plug and play replacement for your current 210 or 220. Looks identical to the factory unit with the exception of the Becker logo...

Any discernable advantage to the 210 or 220?
