E39 Becker Radio replacement ?

[tuscany]

My 2001 5 series is fitted with a Becker radio cassette which has decided to drop the right hand speakers. I have tested the head unit and speakers and its the head unit at fault.

They appear to be as rare as chikens teeth. I have bid on ebay and always missed out. I cant justify £200 for a 2nd hand radio that may fail after 3 months anyway.

Can anyone advise what alternatives i can fit which will a) work with my CD changer in the boot or b) not look a complete arse in the dash ?

All suggestions welcome

Local electronics specialist should easily be able to sort it for a few quid.

all you need is the adaptors like here,

and one of these, Id go for an alpine with the retractable volume knob this shouls allow for the flap bit to come down,

if you havr steering controls theres an adapter for that on there as well.
