I just had a Becker Grand Prix 7992 and a Becker Ipod Remote fitted by John Kleis in Reading, who have done a really good job of removing an unsightly one year old Pioneer and replacing with the Becker, whilst retaining the usage of the Nokia amp and digital processor.
The 7992 has a red display, which when illuminated looks really good in the dash. It doesn't clash with my OBC as the OBC has an amber on black display and the Grand Prix has a black on red/amber/blue or green background illumination, with the illumination colour depending on the model. With the red illumination on, it goes well with the red needles, hazard warning light and red lights above the centre console switches.
The functionality of the Becker is brilliant and so much easier to use than the previous Pioneer, which was very fiddly and had almost invisible labeling for each function.
The Bluetooth works very well, as does the Ipod Remote, which is in the glovebox and enables you to keep your Ipod out of site and use the Becker for controlling the Ipod. The sound seems better than the Pioneer too, with a tighter midrange, more controlled bass and sweeter treble....or maybe it's just because it looks better!?
It is really sad that Becker have pulled out of the UK ICE market, as their head units are just brilliant. Apparently it's due to Motorola taking their Bluetooth license off them? I hear that the same is about to happen to Clarion in the UK as well.
If you can find a Becker for sale and are unhappy with the look of your current head unit in your 993, buy it, as they not only look brilliant in the 993 dash, they also work amazingly well. I got mine from Pentagon GPS. They didn't have and amber models left, but they do have red ones and to me it looks just fine. They retail them at £300.00.
