I got mine and it hooked up fine and seemingly connected to my iPhone via Bluetooth. However, there was no way to get the CDR-210 to switch to it as a source. This is despite the fact that I have a Porsche CD-changer the radio WILL switch to.
At least it was only $13 and now I know how to remove the radio...so it can go to Becker in NJ for their Bluetooth solution and button refinishing!

Update. Been using it for a few weeks now and it truly works great. Pairs instantly and sounds decent. Was a bit worried when there was a reply saying there was a constant draw however it must be extremely small as it hasn't affected anything. Great little unit for $15!!!

Yes - the device draws a measly 3.3 microamps.

so other than having a constant power draw, is this about the same product that becker autosound sells on ebay for $80? I have been using the cord that goes from the rear of the headunit to my iphone. Works great and charges my phone, the convenience of bluetooth is tempting. Phil

I can't seem to get it paired. I see what I believe to be the bluetooth adapter (Samsung 8 series). Has anyone used this with iPhoneXS?
I have this plugged into CR220 with Aux enabled.
Looks like there is a little LED in the case. Mine is not lighting up.

I have a CDR-220 in my 993 with this device & works great, you can hear a bit of a buzz though when engine is on- I do have one issue not with the bluetooth but i can't see the screen because of the angle, i ordered a new face from Becker thats supposed to work, and still had same issue, sent it back hope they just sent me a wrong one

Just installed as well. Sounds fantastic, better than FM!
Regarding power, it is on all the time... Can you confirm however, Is it 3.3 microamp or milliamp?
Thanks

I just found a CDR-220 in the garage. I forgot that I had it. I had the faceplate modified by Becker for the 993. What is it worth. I have the same model in my 993, but I don't need two. Works great. Phil
