I just came back from testing them when I saw your post. The radio fuse is good. I even replaced it with my spare and same thing. I also wanted to mention that when the car is locked, the radio light for the alarm does not flash anymore. It's gotta be something simple.

I was just thinking...isn't there a fuse in the back of the radio where I need the becker keys to access?

probably.

i just put in a Kenwood KVT-696 (built-in iPod support) + Kenwood iPod cable.
ran the cable back thru the center console and up thru the bottom of the stow bin. don't even have to look at the ipod.

Looks like a sweet system. Currently, I can't throw money at something like that but I would I could. My brother has a panasonic one like that. My fuse in the back of my radio turned out to be out. Replaced it with a normal 10A fuse.

bu I also see on Becker website they seem to have a cable now for iphone, maybe it's better?

Seriously.. with a CDR-220, this is all you need:

then get a small adapter rca to 3.5mm and your in buziness to plug your Iphone/Ipod..

Easy Setup, no slycing anything.. only downside is that you can't use your CD-changer anymore.. but who care of a cd changer when you have way more music on your ipod?

Sorry I should have say I'd like it to charge my phone as well, so the simple rca connection is not enough.
Today I use the griffin fm transmitter, but it's not perfect quality and can't use gps function with it (some interference and the location is completly off).
I'm also looking at a way to fix it more into my field of vision, I do have the cup holders under the air vent, I'm gonna look if I can do something here as it seems to be a perfect spot.
