1996 Radio and A Couple Other Items.

[Puska 35.M]

I'm looking for a CD/Cassette radio that would be correct for a 1996 Beretta base model. Right now I only have AM/FM, and I'd like to be able to play CD's and hook an iPod up to one of those cassette converters. However, I'd like to keep the stock look. Below is what I have right now.



I'm also looking the piece that the center armrest attaches on to. On mine the spring snapped off. If needed I am willing to buy the whole armrest.



Lastly I'm looking for the rubber piece that keeps your keys from falling through the opening for the handbrake handle. The tabs on mine broke, and I had cut the part out and thrown it out long ago as it kept rattling. However, I've also dropped my keys in between there several times since. I figure I can just glue the piece on.

Anybody?

I could also use a new shift plate, as the tabs on mine are broken, and sometimes it pops up while driving.

I don't have any of these things you are looking for, but I can provide some advice on the radio. Berettas never got an AM/FM CD Cassette radio from the factory. You would either have to just get an original radio with just the tape deck, or search forever for a factory cd player, which are rare and most likely won't play a burnt CD, as the newest ones are from 1996. I'd say to just go with the factory tape deck radio, and use the adapter for a portable CD player, or an Ipod. Or you can just go with an aftermarket head unit, and try to find one with a tape deck in it, which may prove impossible new, because nobody uses cassette tapes anymore. My personal preference is just an aftermarket head unit, with an AUX port. Both my cars have aftermarket decks in them, but neither has an AUX port, so I just live with it.

Well, if I went aftermarket I would just dump the cassette. Suppose I could try to find a used one. Still would rather have a cassette deck so I can put in the adapter.

You want the cassette deck because you have cassettes to listen to right? Otherwise, an aftermarket with the port will do the job. To me those adapters are a pita, and seem to kill the sound quality.

[Puska 35.M]

Yeah, I have cassettes I listen to occasionally.

I have a few 5 speed shift plates/parts in various condition laying around, and I can get you that arm rest piece too.

Dude, you can buy a brand new CD player for like $100 - $120 with iPod hookups these days... with free installation!

What's a cassette? just messin with ya..

The thing with the aftermarket ones is they always seem more complicated to operate than they need to be. People also steal them.

Did you get my PM? I could also use the part that snaps onto the underside of the shift plate in order to hold the rubber on.

Not trying to badger, but I'm really interested in those parts. I want to get my interior back together!
