    Not with with this faceplate and trim, it is specific to Porsche 911. As you know all early radios were interchangeable depending on faceplate setup. This faceplate is very rare!

    Interested. Can radios like this be modified to accept aux inputs (iPhone, etc.)?
    Appreciate your comment(s)

    yes they can. There's someone on eBay that sells a DIN adapter that plugs into radios that have that port. On the other end is a small box with a 3.5mm female that you can connect whatever media you want to. When plugged in it acts like an AUX IN on a more modern radio.

    Search eBay for: Blaupunkt Becker Europa Grand Prix STEREO iPod MP3 Adapter Mercedes Porsche 911

    I don't know if the radio above has this DIN port. Usually covered with a milky white plastic dust cap.

    I don't see a DIN port, so probably it doesn't work that way
