Thanks Kaleb - my Becker CD Changer does not have the interface box so one
will be ordered.
Thx -

Check on the internet to see if you can order them somewhere. When I
bought mine I got the part number off a website and had a local radio
shop order them for me. For the 91-93 cars using the alpine CD changer,
you have to get 2 PIE adaptors, and get a special interface box at the
dealer. I believe the factory CD changer have this interface box
mounted to the back of the CD changer already. Hook the mess together
and it works fine. On the 94 and up cars (non fiber optic), you just
have to buy 1 adaptor that plugs the same alpine changer right into the
truck plug.

OK - Thanks! I'll contact PIE tomorrow and see how much a adapter will
cost.
Thanks again. BTW, is the Alpine 611 a current changer? Or has it been
out
for a while ?
Hope, at last! ;-)

Well you dont need a becker silverstone changer, the alpine 611 and
several others will work just fine with the becker system. You have to
get a coupld of adapter from PIE but thats no big deal.

Couldn't agree more! Actually, I'm fighting a similar problem w/my 91.
I
want a changer and bought one that needed repair. It's been with SW
Stereo
since last July waiting for parts. He's really an expert on these
Becker
systems and I've run a few different scenarios past him trying to find a
workable alternative that would provide equal sound quality. I
considered
buying a new dash unit and changer to go with it - but that would mean
running all new speaker wires and a new antenna wire - with another one
to
the dash if I want the on/off to actuate the antenna. He said the head
unit
is basically a tape deck and some wiring - with the tuner and amp in the
trunk. It's high quality fir circa 1991 so I would gain quality if I
wanted
to buy all new stuff and spend the few hours running wiring. I don;t,
so
I'll wait for the changer to be rebuilt.
Not sure why Becker had to go with the trunk mounted amp & tuner - all
the
other systems managed to put quality in the dash -
The bad thing is the Becker Silverstone CD Changers are becoming
difficult
to find - and parts take a long time to locate. Becker doesn;t make or
stock any spare parts any more.
Oh well.....

probably not. The most disturbing part of the car though is this model
is prewired for CD changer in the trunk. Why on earth would somebody
rip out the factory head unit and install that crappy aftermarket
radio?

With over 8 days remaining, I doubt it'll be cheap for long. ;-)
