That would be great if this works out for my 00 Box! I sent them an email. Anyne have any experience with these guys? They seem legit, but they don not have any webshop - only a simple boy-room flat website..

Edit* my version is the CR-22



Will it still work? I wonder what the differences between the CR-22 and the CR/CDR-220 are.

Edit2* I did some Googling.. and even though iWirep.com writes in their AFQ that their cables work only with the 220 model, it seems that this guy ("Roofrack996) made it work with the 22 model:

Also, it seems that Becker sells these cables or something similar http://www.beckerautosound.com/Porsche/aux_input_CR_CDR%20220.html

And yes it is CR22 compatible.

I emailed them earlier, they didnt respond, so I called them (and so should you)

They were great servicing over the phone.

I ordered the bottom one, since I use my Spotify and iTunes via my iPhone 5, I need to connect via a jack

That is, like I explained, it doesnt fit my iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 has a new connection than the iPhone 4 I just replaced. So I just need a simple jack to Connect to my iPhone 5. Same as if I was to Connect some earplugs

This brings up a question I've been meaning to ask: are there any android charge and play cords out there?

It's not as if iphone is dominating the market anymore. Plenty of people have Samsungs, etc. Just having the old iphone charge and the headphone jack seems unsatisfactory.

I installed the iPhone cable to my Backer radio last night by the way.. Just used the radio keys, tugged it towards myself, unplug and replug new cable.. 15 min job
Since one must unplug the cd-changer sugarcube from the behind the radio, at therefore cannot use the cd changer (I would never have used it either way), I'm putting it on ebay just to see iof there's any interest. They are listed from $150 to $350..

You can buy that adaptor to go from the iPhone 4 plugs to iPhone five

Oh well. I have placed the order, and besides, the other cable option was three times the price. So I guess all I am missing out on with my choice is the ability to charge. I will be sure to bring a charger that hooks up to my cigarettte lighter on long trips

True, but still leaves everyone in the android camp with only the headphone jack.
