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.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

As far as I know I have never had a CD changer although there are stickers on the stereo top implying it was a refurbished and checked unit in 2016 ...so I'm not sure.

Just bought and fit a aux cable for my CDR23 but I cannot work out how exactly to change the input settings on the stereo to use it.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Just bought and fit a aux cable for my CDR23 but I cannot work out how exactly to change the input settings on the stereo to use it. I've been reading around and i see mention of the CD Changer (which I didn't have in my car). Is there a way I can get it working?

POST 2Original post

Where does the aux cable plug in? Do you have the Bose system? My Boxster has Bose and an after market Dension Gateway 500 that plugs into the MOST fibre optic system making the unit 'think' there is a CD changer. I basically press the CD button on the CDR 23 and use my iPod (yes I have an iPod) to play my tunes. Works like a charm.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yes I have Bose. Plugging it into back of the cdr23 in the only plug socket that it seems to fit into. On the far left S you look at it from pulling it out upside down. As far as I know I have never had a CD changer although there are stickers on the stereo top implying it was a refurbished and checked unit in 2016 ...so I'm not sure. I'm assuming I've got MOST since I'm facelift
