It is most likely related. If you look at the CDR 220 you removed, there is a sticker on one side of the radio. (I think it is on the left side.) This matches up with an electrical connection. If the sticker isn't present, it will cause the anti-theft system to think the radio has been moved. Put a piece of electrical tape on your new radio in the same location as the sticker on the Becker unit. That should fix the problem.

Makes sense and thanks for making me aware of a 10 year old solution to my new problem!
