AUX input cable for CDR-220

[Jacques79]

I just bought this:

It's the right cable for my CDR-220 in order to get AUX input for my MP3 player right?

I may be paranoid but I just want to make sure...

The connector looks right, and it says it works with the Becker radio so it should be okay. But you could also get something like this, if you only have an iPod and want it to charge.

This may be a better choice:

You can connect this one to the power cables intended for the phone charger. So, you can charge your player while you drive.

I have it and it works well.

I've seen some people advocate this model:

You can use this for just about any device available.

This sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. How would one install this?

That's my question as well, as I am looking for an easy install item, one that can be easily reversed if need be without drilling.

These cables are really easy to install, Kevin lists the best two available. Just pull the stereo out with some radio keys, plug in the cable, then connect the power cables to the phone connector. Route the iPod connector out whichever way you want, and you now have a powered iPod connection. That's it.

Here's an article on making your own iPod connector. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=5190

I think the commercially available devices are better, but the article does show some good pictures of radio removal and dash components. The pictures are of a 996, but it is similar to a 986.

Vincesf - I don't think these aux in cables work on 2003 and later Boxsters due to the MOST system.
