SOLD Becker Cascade 7944 headunit,...

Post by Orinoco »

Hi
SOLD
Becker Cascade 7944 head unit, voice recognition, sat nav, Bluetooth...

If you do not know what a Becker Cascade is please read on!

This is regarded by many in the BMW and Z3 community as the best high end head unit available for BMW and the Z3. I'm sure members who have this unit can vouch for the quality and features of this unit. Becker are one of the top manufacturers for car stereos in the world, all their units are understated class offering high end performance without being "in your face" like a lot of the modern units on the market.

They no longer produce aftermarket units to purchase and exclusively provide systems as standard to some of the world's finest cars including, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin, Porsche, Mercedes, BMW (as a factory option) and Land Rovers.

*The unit has the following features:
*Speech dialogue system, change the radio station by saying the name, call home etc
*15 colour OLED display and the Orange setting matches the Z3 clocks etc
*Becker twin RDS radio tuner has been voted as the best in the world.
*Bluetooth built in
*Surround sound
*UK and European Sat Nav
*Phone Directory
*CD
*MP3
*CF Card

You can buy a Becker CD multi changer and also Ipod controller (I do not have either).

Full specs via this link: http://www.mybecker.com/enUK/mainnaviga ... ical-data/

Included as shown above:
Sat Nav aerial
Bluetooth microphone
Ipod/MP3 player aux input
Foreign language instructions
A4 English instruction manual
UK and European Sat Nav CD
UK and European CF card
Removal Keys
Security Code Card
Unused Becker window stickers
Brand new BMW ISO wiring harness and plug (plug and play)
Removable security panel
Very rare storage case for security panel which can be added to you key ring
Original Box

These units hold their value due to their rarity and quality and I'm asking £575 including P+P tracked to a UK address. (Cheapest I can find for 7944).
The only reason I'm selling this is because the car I'm looking at to replace my Z3 has an integrated system fitted.

Small 3mm repair to crack on outer edge repaired 18 months ago (diagonal whiter line shown above). This cannot be seen unless you look very closely and is hidden when the security section is fitted.

I'll vouch for the quality of these, its one of the first things i bought for my car. They are amazing! Great sound, great features and OEM looks. Becoming much rarer to pick up.

Another fan of the Becker lol, took me a while to find mine which is the Pro Version, unsure what the difference is.

Previously I had a Sony and was always dissapointed with the sound and was about to change the speakers when I bought the Becker, installed it and it just sounds fantastic so can highly recommend these.

Orinoco I'll post a link up on the porsche forum as they are a very popular 993 upgrade and you have priced it fairly.

Anyone interested I have 2 of these fitted and they are the best period head units you can buy period. You can update to the last Becker software version 5.1 if needed which allows you to run larger 4 gb SD cards. This in turn allows you to run BMW maps from 2013 on with speed camera data so you get 3 warning beeps even when not using the sat nav feature, very cool.
