Over here the Pioneer appradio is really cheap. I have one and its great value for money.

I get it JD, now that you have upgraded your IMS bearing, you can stop listening for sounds of imminent failure and actually listen to music! Just out of interest, when you say 'been there, done that', I assume that is in reference to the IP-BKR2 for the aux/imput on the Becker CDR-220. I was thinking of getting one for rmy ipod and wondered what problems you experienced?

I had nothing but horrible experiences trying to use the aux input on the back of the CDR-220 radio. I'm no electronics experiment, however, something in the process was causing power to be shunted that resulted in the loss of 3 ipods. While others may have had better results, personally I don't believe the head unit is designed to function in a way that works correctly with an external device such as an ipod or MP3 player.

I seem to recall that Apple changed the voltage for the Ipod at a certain point and that the original wiring harness was designed for the earlier models and would cause damage to newer ones. I also understood that the BKR2 was intended to address that issue, although I may be mistaken. Anyone else?
