After years of looking around, I'm proud to announce I'm now the very proud owner of a glacier white 1998 model 4S. It's a stunning example with only 18,500 km recently purchased from a Porsche dealership in Germany. I pick it up later this month and will definitely post pics as soon as I have it.

 

The only problem is that the stereo originally fitted (Becker CDR-21) no longer works. The dealer has offered to install a CDR-22 unit in it's place. I would be grateful for any feedback on the following questions:

1) is there a noticeable difference in the sound quality between the CDR-21 and CDR-22?

2) this car is original in every way (original paintwork, no accidents, no dodgy after market add-ons etc). I'd like to keep it authentic. Would installing a CDR-22 compromise this even though Porsche themselves did retrofit some 993's with the CDR-22/CDR-220? (http://www.pcarworkshop.com/images/8/86/Becker_retrofit_II_2001_69061.pdf)

3) I'd like to be able to use my iPhone as a satnav as well be able to listen to music from it's iPod library. The advantage of using the iPhone is that I don't need to install any visible after market add-ons that would compromise the authenticity of the 993. I've discovered a product that claims to work with both units and can be discretly installed with only a simple cable visible that the iPhone can be attached to (http://www.solisto.de/en/caraudio). Does anyone have any experience with the Solisto solution or any other product?

Thanks in advance for all your input Smiley
