Becker Mexico 7948

The Hi Tech Retro Car Deck

— June 13, 2006 — Tech
Looking to add a little tech to your classic car? The Becker Mexico 7948 is a high tech deck for your classic ride. It's hip retro styling is combined with a color display. However, at roughly $2,000 the pricing is NOT retro...

The display is 13 different colors, and the deck is capable of playing MP3s from an SD or CF card. You can also pop in your SIM card to use the deck as a phone, although I can't imagine how a radio would be easier to use than a regular phone handset.
