Wow - kind of an old thread... so..
I purchased a Becker 7885 on Ebay Germany... Black face - Blue display...
I discovered that if any Becker or Blaupunkt head unit that will control a Becker 2660 or compatible CD changer - then there are so many options for adapting an iPod or iPhone to the unit.. This is also true for the factory NAV HU - but my SRT6 was not equipped with Factory Nav - nor did I want to buy one.
So - I swaped the face plate from my stock silver HU with the one shown above (way to easy) and unsoldered the blue LED's behind the display and replaced with the green LED's from my factory unit (a lot more work) but other then that and an antenna adapter it was plug and play.
Now I have 4 channel sound Socket B - (with additional amp and wires) - and much more dynamic range and control (the bass is incredible) I hooked up an iPad/iPhone adapter to the CD Changer socket C2 & C3 for under $125 that I can control from the H/U and keeps my iPhone charged -
I now have phone input, Socket C3 and mute on Socket A, for my bluetooth device for handsfree calling that I hear thru the speakers... 5 channel pre-amp output (socket C1), (front, rear, sub-woofer) Traffic info, RDS, MP3, GAL, SW radio, Track display (song, artist) from the CD Rom, etc...
And it looks so factory...... Perhaps I should do a full write up..
