Just wondered if anyone had upgraded this in their car? Mines in a 03/2002 car. Can't even work out if it has the MOST Bus technology confused as had no stereo instructions when I brought the car. It has got a power amp in the front and 6 speakers though.
I guess Becker, but which one? bearing in mind I would like to have full ipod control.

Any other systems that would do this other than Becker?

Also - are there any systems other than Becker, that still have the same 'look'...? i.e. Amber background with black LCD, or the other way round........?

Yours,

Bonjour Monsieur

have a look here if you have not already done so.

Becker Grand Prix looks the dogs.

also for about 500 sheets you can get one with full ipod connectivity, bluetooth and sat nav (all in a din sized slot mind you)

if you have a cdr 32 then i am pretty sure you have the MOST set up, although I am sure someone will be along soonest to confirm specifically.

In the meatime, ignore the music and wind the window down a little biglaugh

32? Surely you mean 23?

Nope. It's definitely a 32.

CDR-32 does indeed require MOST - which means you're stuck with what Porsche has to offer or buying an expensive adapter (since MOST is not just about a new plug but moving from analog signals over copper to digital signals over fiber). Also note that even though the original radio was OEMd from Becker I have yet to see Becker selling their MOST kit individually.
