CDR-22 display not readable when installed in 993
Discussion
I have replaced mu CR21 in my 9934S for a CDR22 to install my Ipod via Icelink Plus. This works very well, but the display of the CDR22 is very difficult to read due to the different viewing angle in a 993 compared to in a boxter. In daylight it is not readable at all. I think there are some polarized layers in the display that only allow viewing from above like is the case when installed in a boxter.
I have tried to open the display an see if polarized layers can be removed, but it looks like it may make things worse, so I left it as is. I belief there are other Becker models as the CDR22 (Becker BE4660) with the same displays that may have been sold for other cars with wider view angles. I wonder if a replacement display with wider viewing angles exist and if I can order it somewhere? Is there someone who had the same problem and knows the easy fix?
Thanks

I recently fitted a Porsche branded Becker CDR-22 in my 993, it came from a Boxster via eBay. The LCD display was very faint. I found Putnoe Radio Service (PRS) who are authorised Becker service agents, they changed the removable LCD face plate with one from a Ferrari keeping the Porsche branding, the LCD display is now fine. Needed to re-input the code, so don't lose it (like I did for several days). Not a cheap fix though £132. Contact PRS on 01429 869220.
