Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there a way to keep the original Becker type CR21 head unit and connect a MP3 cd changer or ipod Thanks

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess not,what stereo does everybody else have in older cars? Is there a stereo with sat nav USB and card reader which anybody has fitted?

POST 3Original post

You could try one of these: http://www.solisto.de/en/solisto.iaux-3g-becker You will find equivalents on eBay. They work on CR22's, so I think it would be OK on yours.

POST 4Original post

The parrot blue tooth system is a fantastic bit of kit that will allow connectivity of music streaming and more with your existing kit. I have music player and sat nav ( from phone) streaming from my phone and also able to make very clear hands free calls through the original system.

POST 5Original post

Looked at the Dension kit? I had one which interfaces between the aerial lead & head unit. Works well.

POST 8Original post

Easiest is to fit a 3.5 mm aux socket, took me about an hour, once I'd sussed the wiring, CDR 22 wiring should be the same as CR21 I believe If you have a search on the forum for aux you'll find quite a lot about this, eg http://www.911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=74365&highlight=aux

POST 9Original post

i've just done this to mine. google a company called hi-fi links ... he's on ebay too. stereo was a bit difficult to remove and needed becker specific keys as there are a couple of types ... z

POST 10Original post

I have a CR21 with CDC-3 CD changer in boot, I can just plug in a mp3 into the CD changer on back of the CDR21 if i wanted

POST 11Original post

Hanford sell the removal tool. You need a Becker or blaupunkt or vw aux in cable. It'll take less than half an hour to do... The tools are fiddly, but once you've done it once it is easy. That doesn't help much...

POST 12Original post

use the cd changer output via a cable available on ebay.

POST 13 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bought the aux cable and fitted it today,the head unit does not recognize my mobile when I connect it. I bought the 3.5mm connector cable which has only the blue plug. I connected it and it says no cd when I try to select that option. I then connected the green plug as well,it then searches for the cd and then goes back to radio because it cannot find anything. It looks like I am going to have to buy a different stereo if I want to connect my ipod or mobile so I can listen to music. What is the name of the connection in the back of the stereo? is it ISO 10487 ?? I am looking at a few different stereos and it seems I would need to buy the adapter cable to fit it. What connection is the standard for car stereos?

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

After a bit of searching,I am thinking about a Sony MEX-BT4000U. It seems to come with the cables needed to connect it,and seems to be able to connect a RM X4S to the steering column. MP3 ipod connection Bluetooth 35000 shades for the display(if anybody needs that many). http://www.sony.co.uk/product/car-cd-player-bluetooth/mex-bt4000u http://www.sony.co.uk/support/en/product/RM-X4S
