Thirteeneast - Most UK were fitted with the CDC cable.
Leading evidence: 'Install with the cdc cable' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Suggestion
1-4-8 reset made no difference, but I happened to remove the spare wheel (I needed the headlamp adjust allen key as going abroad).

I have checked tthe adjustment arrows on either side of the changer and they are pointing up for vertical install so all should be right there.
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.

1-4-8 reset made no difference, but I happened to remove the spare wheel (I needed the headlamp adjust allen key as going abroad).
Could someone please tell me which becker cd changers are compatible with the cdr22 headunit. I have noticed the cables for the changer are present in the boot of my C4s so hoping it will be a simple plug and play job. I have seen a couple of CDC4 changers on ebay sa hoping these are compatible.
You need a CDC-3. The CDC-4 is fibre optic, for CDR23 or PCM2.
I am told you can also use a Sony CDX-T65.
Edit: The Becker number is 2660.
Although the cables are present, they will need connecting at the head unit.
Really? I'm surprised.
They are normally connected on the Boxster, I assumed the same for 996 - you just need to enable the input on the head unit menu.
I use my cables for iPod input.
KG - You can get the Becker keys on eBay for a couple of quid.
Thirteeneast - Most UK were fitted with the CDC cable. Look for code M441 on the sticker. (Edit: That should include the mounting bracket)
Mark - You may well be correct. I just assumed that because it wasn't connected on my C2, perhaps they all weren't.
Chris - you are probably thinking of the post 200
3
cars, with the MOST optical bus, which needs the CDC-4.
Yes - the sticker under the bonnet, or in the service book, should have 441 on it if it has the cable and bracket. If you have a C2 then it is easy enough to see the cable and bracket anyway. At the back of the luggage compartment, on the right as you look at it, just behind the spare wheel.
i have a multichanger for this head unit,it is a becker silverstone 2660 (6 disc),i had it fitted in my 986, no good to me now as i have a987,if you want it let me know as i did try selling it about two years ago via forum , if you want any more details let me know ( looking for about £90 pounds plus P+P)
If the cables are there, I would have thought the bracket would be too. On mine, the CDC was on the left hand side of the compartment (as you look at it), next to the brake servo. I guess there is a blanking cover if the changer isn't fitted, but it is easy enough to get the whole plastic cover off - just a few screws.
My becker 2660 changer arrived yesterday (thanks rich mich) Problem is if the head unit is switched off then on again at a later stage it will say loading..... and stays that way and will not play any cds. Only way (so far0 to get it to play from the changer is to eject the magazine and reload. Anyone know how to fix this? I have checked tthe adjustment arrows on either side of the changer and they are pointing up for vertical install so all should be right there.
EDIT: it wont select past disc 2 either so maybe its jamming.
How do you enable the CD unit input on the head unit menu please. This might solve my problem where the PCMs has stopped recognising the CD multi-changer.
I only have a manual for the US equivalent CDR220 (see FAQ section) which says that it should be ready as soon as the CDC is connected, and a full magazine is inserted. If there was an option for enabling it, it would probably be in the user menu - press the down arrow button for longer than 8 seconds.
Maybe Mark has some better information.
my headunit recognised the changer as soon as it was plugged in. anyone know if pretty much any sony changer will be compatible or if its only specific models. Also would a 10disc changer work?
Richard - thank you. I may be missing something obvious but I cannot find a 'down arrow' on my PCM2 or on any of the menus. Can you point me in the right direction please?
.
PCM? Sorry, I thought you had a CDR22.
If you have retrofitted a CDC-4, then it needs coding with a Porsche tester.
If it was original fitment, try resetting the system by pressing 1, 4 & 8 at the same time.
Thanks Richard. 1-4-8 reset made no difference, but I happened to remove the spare wheel (I needed the headlamp adjust allen key as going abroad). Put the spare wheel back and the PCM decided to recognise the multi-CD. No reason - but it all works now. All I can think of is that if the spare wheel securing bolt is fastened too tight it could distort the rear boot panel and somehow affect the CD which is also fastened to this back panel.
