When I sold my Boxster, I pulled out the CDR220 deck unit. Now, it sits in my 914!

Who's done other similar installs? I love the fact the deck says "Porsche". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Yes, keeping the BUB's and leaving this 914 pretty much alone. I spent an hour getting the CDR-220 deck unit installed fabbing up a little bracket behind for support just so nothing on the 914 would have to be modified.

The wiring on the back of this deck is exactly the same as VW's from the same period. Going to a local bone-yard this weekend to snip off a plug and wire it up.

Speakers and amp - Just getting some nice speakers for the stock locations and no amp. Nothing fancy here. Same as was mentioned above, nice to get the news in the morning, I do have some CD's and on a trip will be nice to have some tunes.

Not a big stereo guy, but thought it was WAY COOL the CDR-220 Porsche deck fit like a glove. Just had to share it.

BTW - I still pinch myself everytime I sit in this 914, the interior is (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

I don't want to do anything to mess it up.
