CD22 -v- CD23

[7357]

Morning all..
I have a CD22 in my MK1 GT3, is it worth upgrading to the CD23 ? what will I gain ?

Also, I need to know what CD Changer will fit ?

Thanks

Not sure about the CD22 / CD23 differences but the changer is a Becker Silverstone. I have one if you're interested

Must admit I have no idea of the differences between the 22 and the 23, but have you had a look at the other similar units Becker has on offer with ipod connectivity, bluetooth, sat-nav etc. ?

CDR22 uses copper as per a conventional in-car radio

CDR23 uses fibre optic (MOST); the two are not compatible.

As for what you'd gain if you installed it?


Silence...



Loads of threads on the subject..

or buy a Becker unit. they look oem and you can get them with nav, pod compatibility. perfect

Wetwipe beat me to it (but then his X50 is quicker than my GT3 too!)



Get a Becker GrandPrix, with bluetooth and Ipod connectivity it does the business.

The Becker Silverstone is listed on that page, it's about 240 or so.

For the amount I use the car.. A used one would do !!

I've just picked up a 996 Targa with CD 22 and it has a Becker silverstone. Sadly it wasn't working so the Indy Dealer went looking for a replacement from the rest of his (newer) stock. Anything we got with a CD 23 didn't fit the CD22 leads so the options seem to be OPC CD22 or the Becker Silverstone. I'm still waiting for a replacement Silverstone so would be interested if anyone has one if the dealer doesn't come through.
