Introduction
IPods, Smartphones, MP3 players etc. let you enjoy music at the beach, at a
picnic, in the back yard and in your car. A special adapter is necessary to
connect these devices to the car radio and usually requires sacrificing the CD
changer. The iP-BKR2 updates select Becker AUX Ready radios to support new
audio devices without sacrificing the look and feel of the dashboard components.
With the storage capacity of most portable devices sacrificing the CD changer
should be an easy decision.
Installation
Warning: We recommend disconnecting car battery. But before anything locate
and record radio safe code. Don’t disconnect battery if radio code is not
available, otherwise radio will cease to operate.
1. Remove radio from dash to gain access to connectors. Radio removal
tools (See Fig. 1) required.

NO; these adapters work only if Becker radio has an “AUX” input menu
option. Becker radios without AUX menu option (e.g. CR-210, CDR-210, CR-1
etc.), are NOT compatible.
2. Do you offer an adapter for Becker radios without “AUX” input menu
option?
YES; if vehicle has a functioning CD changer, you may purchase and install
our IP-BKRCD or 3.5-BKRCD etc. Required CD changer remains
connected but will no longer play.
3. Can I control audio device from radio buttons?
NO; you must continue to use Apple built-in controls and display to
operate the device. The volume button on the Becker radio is used to set
the playback level.
4. Can I use the iP-BKR with the iPhone5, 6 etc.?
YES; but Apple’s 30-pin to lightning adapter is required. Purchase the
adapter directly from Apple to ensure compatibility, or purchase out iL-BKR
