Becker Monza
I have a line on a few brand new European spec Becker Monza CD/RADIO/MP3 head units. Two things to consider AM is virtually useless,the FM tuning goes in intervals of .1 whereas the US tunes in intervals of .2
Price will likely be about $440-$460 per.
Cheapest I found in the States is $525. Specs below
Any interest? Should I look further into it?

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?
