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.

You either have to replace the cable to compensate for the removed units (cable with less connectors) or buy a MOST bypass loop cable (female) for each removed unit.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

I am working on my '06 Cayman S for autox and am wondering about removing the sat nav dvd drive and what ever else I can from the front trunk, to save some weight on the front tires. My question is, if I remove and unplug the dvd drive, will the rest of the radio functions still work normally? With the advent of smartphones and GPS, the nav system never gets used on my car.

POST 2Original post

All of the accessory units (DVD, CD changer, Bose amp) are connected by a fiber optic cable (MOST). If you remove one of the units you break the circuit. You either have to replace the cable to compensate for the removed units (cable with less connectors) or buy a MOST bypass loop cable (female) for each removed unit. One like this. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/MOS...igation-Systems-For-Luxury-Cars/32495332374.html?spm=2114.40010708.4.104.Lqt4W9 You'll most likely still have to have the dealer reprogram the system so that it doesn't recognize the missing units. Not sure about this point so would check with a dealer.
