Btw - it says on that page that the BKR-HF replaces the CD Changer connection and it's also sold out.
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 am curious about the following:
Where to pull switched power from
Where the mic wire was routed assuming the mic wound up somewhere near the sunvisor
Thanks!
Switched power is on the 4 wire phone prep connector floating around behind your center stack cubbies. Pull the top one, they snapin, and use the green/black wire for switched power.
Brown = ground
yellow/black = radio mute
green/black = switched 12v
red/green = un-switched 12v
Ditto on the switched power. Use the phone prep harness - strip back some shielding and you don't have to alter your car's factory wiring at all.
The mic is easy to mount by wedging it between the A pillar cover and the headliner. Route the wire under the A pillar cover then under the dash. Super simple.
I am kinda stuck with this right now. Pulled the factory radio as well as the CD storage and cubby box, however I don't know where and how to fish the wire... It seems the bottom stack can't be fished directly up to where the factory radio is.
For the guys that installed this, where do you put the module itself and how did you route your antenna connection? TIA!
I'm installing mine today. here are my install steps.
1. Drop off car to shop
2. wait patiently for it to be completed (should be done in another hr)
3. inspect the quality of the work
4. Pay da man
5. leave parking lot
Same here for my CDR220. It plugged into the existing wiring harness on the radio and didn't use the Antenna connection. Here is the one I bought. The link has a list of compatible radios.

I ran the mic wire up the driver side A-pillar. Remove the driver side sun visor and just pop the cover loose using a plastic pry bar. I have the mic clipped to the A-piller on the windshield side. It works well. I've even been able make calls with my convertible top down doing 30 mph or so.
I put the unit itself behind the center console - between the two removable side pieces.
Update. At some point I started noticing an alternator whine when streaming music. I bought a plug&play ground loop isolator for $9 that completely eliminated the noise. I still love this solution. It keeps the original look but adds audio streaming and hands-free phone. It's completely invisible except for one dime-size button and the micophone.

Thanks all. Interesting to hear there is now a straight plug-in. My car has the CDR23 and was not equipped with the CD changer. I was thinking I would have to splice and use an antenna adapter like this 997.1 thread --

I ordered this Tranzit Blue version on Amazon --

Check with discount car stereo. For CDR23 you would use a different unit that uses the antenna connection. On the plus side, that enables display of song information on the radio screen.
Unfortunately, the plug and play version has this disclaimer:
Works in Porsche with: Becker Traffic Pro, Mexico CD Mexico CD (7803, CC4325, CC4327, CD4337, CC4370), CR-22, CDR-22, CR-210*, CDR-210*, CR-220, CDR-220, CDR30 (CQ-JX0770G), PCM1* with "AUX MENU" setting. [ CD-R23/24, PCM2,3 owners, purchase the ISFM2351
For post 2003, the site links you to the same set I ordered on Amazon, and they only give you wire taps and requires the antenna adapter. Once again you pre-MOST owners luck out.

Does any one have experience with this HF system?
http://www.discountcarstereo.com/BKR-HF.html
It seems to be very similar to the Tranzit Blu, but it seems to be based off a device called the Blitz Blue G2. I'm trying to decide between this and the BLU-BKR235 from discount car stereo. I wonder if there is a quality/reliability difference between the two. The price seems about the same, but this one allows me to keep my cd changer on my CR220
I can't comment on that one as far as performance, but I have the BLU-BKR235 and it works flawlessly with my CDR-220 and iPhone.
Btw - it says on that page that the BKR-HF replaces the CD Changer connection and it's also sold out.
As a follow up, I managed to install my Tranzit BLU HF using the excellent instructions here --

Sound quality is great, and I'm loving the connectivity!
