The race is on to who get's it first! My second one left Munich yesterday on a slow boat. My first one finally made it to Becker and it's sitting on someone's desk is all they were able to tell me after a week. Arrghhhh!

I got my radio and it is working great. The CD player works, the CD changer works, the sound is soooo much better. I like the RDS. On one station it displayed the 'Playing Usher on KIIS FM'. I set all 8 presets. The only unsual thing so far is you can not switch from to the CD Changer while the CD is playing, you have to switch to radio and then back.

Haven't heard on the manual from Becker yet. I would imagine we can contact a dealer in the UK and get it . I have the German manual and I pretend I understand it. Here's a pic for people that are concerned that the CD changer works with the Audio 10. It shows the CD number and the track number that's playing. I'll post some pics of the vent that needs to be removed so those that install themselves understand what's going on.

These are the clips that you have to pull down from inside the top of the vent. Stick a thin flat blade screwdriver in a slot on top and pull down and tug on the vent.

I wish I can get a good picture of the spring clips at the bottom but you'll have to take my word for it. Open the ashtray half way and you'll see (or at least feel) the two clips (one on each end on the bottom of the panel). You pull them down with a screwdriver until they release.
Once you have the panel out then removing the radio is a cinch. It's held in with two #20 torx screws on each end.
DO NOT PLAY THE RADIO WITH ONLY THE POWER PLUGGED IN. I DID ONCE AND GOT A "PROD" ANTI-THEFT LOCKOUT.

Buellwinkle, do you remember which wiring harness connected to the plug behind the A/C fan controller? I have 2 that have the same plug, and I don't want to burn anything up. One of them is 3 black wires molded together, and the other is 3 colored wires just taped together. One of them must not plug into anything, but I don't remember which one.

The one you have showing is the black 3 wire molded lead. If you look at my picture, you will see another lead next to it that has 3 milti-colored wires. Any idea where it goes? I cannot find any other plug that it would fit into.

I think the milticolored harness fell down from up above because it is much longer than the black one, but there is still nothing to plug it into. Maybe it is for an option I don't have. Thanks!
