Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Hi, I have an Ipod Porsche compatible Blaupunkt cable that in theory should allow me replace the multichanger with a simple Ipod connection.

as its set so high in the center console/dash looking from beneath after removing the side trim/carpet panel I can easily see the rear of the aircon control unit but nothing of the stereo/ sat nav unit?

PCM2 doesn't have a CD changer cable connection - it uses the fibre optic loop.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I have an Ipod Porsche compatible Blaupunkt cable that in theory should allow me replace the multichanger with a simple Ipod connection. but how do I access the rear of the unit? as its set so high in the center console/dash looking from beneath after removing the side trim/carpet panel I can easily see the rear of the aircon control unit but nothing of the stereo/ sat nav unit? can anyone supply a diagram or a link please??

POST 2Original post

Best bet is to remove the unit itself. Unclip the horseshoe at the bottom, and lift it away with the switches, which you will have to unplug. On either side of the head unit you will see two 5mm hex catches. Turn them 1/4 turn and the unit will slide out. I'll post a diagram when I get to my PC.

POST 3Original post

Hang on. Brain fade on my part. PCM2 doesn't have a CD changer cable connection - it uses the fibre optic loop. Are you sure that cable is compatible? I have heard of something similar used on PCM1, but not PCM2.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good point I assumed it would have but if you think not, then the cable it not much good.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
