Sorry, I have read through this thread a few times. Still not clear whether I can swap in an after market stereo with my CDR 220 in my 2000 2.7 without replacing the other parts of the stock stereo system. i think mine has the hifi option, so I guess that means factory amp? Thanks.

Just replaced my Becker CR 220, with a Kenwood KMM BT518 HD. Harness that came with it was 1787 from Crutchfield. On my 2002 Boxster S, I had the Bose 5000 System. I had never heard of the 5000, but it had the rear speaker system, which worked well with the Becker system. The supplied harness from Metra #1787 was fine but rear speakers did not work. I discovered that the brown connector had only 4 connectors, whereas the Becker connectors had 8 connectors. Tracing back, coonectors 1,2 and 7,8, from the Becker plugs were non-existent in the 1787 plugs. Connected the missing connectors to the brown plug and "voila" have superb sound. Any comments or help, contact me!

Yep, and I love it! Sounds really good, Bluetooth phone and music streaming both work very well. Overall very happy with the unit. It appears to have a fuller sound than the CDR 210 it replaced. Oh, and I love the way it looks.

Thanks! I think I am going to order it this week. The only problem is that the option code sticker doesn't show the 490 code or any other stereo code but I have door and dash speakers and a front trunk CD changer and amp. Its a car from Europe/Japan and has the CDR2200 (not 220) head.

I'd suggest you contact Tore Bergvill from Bergvill F/X and explain to him the system you have. He should be able to help you out with the appropriate harness.

Yes there is an adapter for the continental to run the 490 system.
Has anyone managed to run sat nav from the phone streamed through the bluetooth using the Continental systems?

This is amazing, as all the car heads they make today look like children's toys. This is nice that it maintains the period look of the dash.
