Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The CR23 uses the most fibre-optic loop if it is amplified.
Leading evidence: 'Use most fibre-optic loop if it is amplified' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Use most fibre-optic loop if it is amplified' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I need some photos of standard model radios fitted to 996's. The ones I need are:
CR11 or CR31 (radio-cassette)
CDR22 (radio CD)
CDR23 (radio CD)
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it. They need to be a reasonable quality and size, and I'm looking for close-up shots.
My email is richard996 (at) gmail d0t com
Thanks
Come on then what cheap skate is still rolling with a CR31 ?
how do you get your Mp3's on to them and do you want us to chip in and buy you a CDR22 on ebay?.
Just sent two pics to you Richard, so let me know if you don't get them (they were nearly 8Mb combined so hopefully your email address can take that much).

The CR23 uses the most fibre-optic loop if it is amplified. It does have speaker connections, but no line outputs for a conventional amp. It would need to be decoded to remove the security code (which interacts with the DME), and I doubt it would give any difference in performance to a CDR22.
If you want to upgrade, best bet is to get an aftermarket unit....
No aftermarket stereo's for me thanks, can't stand them - like to keep in with the original style of cars and not have lots of flashing lights
Just wondered if it was a worth while upgrade was all or if it was much the same. Sounds like there is no point though.
Cheers,
You don't have to have flashing lights. A nice second-hand Becker Cascade, TrafficPro, Granx Prix, etc would look perfect. Some were factory options. Becker don't supply them any more, unfortunately.
I bought a nice new Blaupunkt unit for my 3.2 which looks very much at home. Originality is fine, if that's your thing, but you soon get tired of a 1980's radio cassette!
Hehe I still have some sealed RDK sa90's if you want some lol.
I have a collection of retro 'boomboxes' and radios from the 80's and 90's, sometimes you can't beat the memories a fuzzy tape brings back!
Thanks Martin - think I have everything I need now.
Steve - here's a picture of Martin's Becker Grand Prix. I'm sure you'll agree it looks very original.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
