OEM radio repair, restoration and retrofits, by unit and by marque

Becker Auto Sound works on the factory unit the car came with, not aftermarket car-audio installs. Carry a unit upstairs at 101 Route 46 West in Saddle Brook, or ship it in from anywhere in the country or the world. Everything below is organized by the kind of work, then by marque.

Head units and PCM repair

Bench diagnosis for dead PCM 3.x touch screens, cracked-in-dash displays, HDD failures on PCM 3.1, tired CD mechanisms and no-power faults. Repairs use Harman/Becker original replacement parts where they exist, and a PCM 3.1 can go from a failing hard drive to an SSD, or gain Apple CarPlay and a reverse camera.

Amplifier repair

Logic 7, ASK, M-ASK, Bose and Nokia amplifiers come off the bench working again, including Ferrari ASK amps, Range Rover Logic 7 amps, Mini Cooper amps and Toyota JBL Harman amps. Certain amplifiers carry a three-year warranty rather than the standard one year. Mark Levinson amplifiers are no longer repaired here.

Bluetooth and AUX retrofits

A module wired in behind the original faceplate, so the dash looks exactly as the factory built it. Coverage runs from classic analog radios (1954 to 1980) and Becker aftermarket sets (1998 onward) through Mercedes-Benz single-DIN and Comand, BMW 5, 6 and 7 Series, Porsche CR, CDR and PCM units, Ferrari radios and Sprinter units.

Classic Becker restorations

Tube-era radios through fully digital units get restored the way they came out of the car: Europa, Mexico and Grand Prix. Fully restored units are also sold outright, including the Europa Cassette with its pinstripe faceplate, and a restored classic can take a retro Bluetooth or AUX upgrade too.
