    I'm looking to purchase an original 355 radio that is correct for a 1998 GTS. Does anyone know what versions were offered for that year and model?

    Any help much appreciated.

    Interesting. Same <script id="gpt-impl-0.5261459806454908" src="https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/gpt/pubads_impl_139.js"></script>cosmetics. Wonder when the switch was made.

    +1 Barry.

    This is the correct unit for a 1998.

    The only difference between them is the artist and song title read out in the 21. Otherwise they are identical. To look at them, you can't tell them apart except for the number.

    Or the XR20, either is OK although I'd prefer the 21 if available.

    Speaking of radios in 355s, what is correct, based on year in North America?

    1995 (wasn't it just a "radio prep", with wiring and speakers only?)
    1996 ?
    1997 ?
    1998 Sony
    1999 Sony

    I don't think there was a factory radio for 95-97 355s? I have a "period correct" alpine in my car which NEVER gets turned on. Driving a vintage flat crank V8 Ferrari with the radio on is like driving a convertible with the top up on a beautiful 70 degree sunny Saturday.

    Well....sort of. Its a long story. I'm assured by a former Fchater (who's supposed to be very reliable) its mine but its taking a very long time. Meanwhile, I've decided to continue to look as a back up.

    While we are at it, does anyone know a good place to have one of these repaired? Mine doesn't power up at all. And before you ask, yes, I have bench tested it.

    John,

    Factory Car Stereo Repair, Inc. repaired my 550's XR-F20 about three years ago: Factory Car Stereo Repair


    Same problem you're having, it didn't power on.

    How do you check Germany ebay? I can't find anything and I also have searches for this that have not notified me of anything.

    Do you have to have separate searches for every country?
