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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

No. Not practical. No. I don't mean to be unhelpful - but I don't believe this is really an option. Just put 6 CDs in the changer!

POST 2Original post

I'm afraid Don's right. No way unless you replace the whole thing, and that'll cost you a fortune! I thought it was a disgrace when I ordered mine that the PCM came with tape player!!! This is the reason why I ordered Traffic Pro instead. A Tape player in 2002!!! I love Porsche but honestly, a tape player in the 21th century in a car fitted with ground breaking tech. Sad really... Well, at least it's been fixed now. Fanch.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Fanch, yes agree with you. At least there are the cd' s in the boot... Well, it is done i am waiting for the car now.

POST 4Original post

You'll love it, sir. Enjoy...

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Don, i' ll certainly let you know... I am quite nervous now... got to wait!

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

All, am about to get a Boxster S with PCM. It is the 'Old' Boxster S generation with PCM & tape player (CD changer in the boot). I do not really like the tape player of the PCM. *Is it possible to replace the tape player (only!) of the PCM with a Dash-Board CD player? *Or does the whole system needs to be changed? *Can a 2003 Boxster PCM unit replace a 2002 Boxster Unit? In short: What are your advices to get a CD player on the dashboard when PCM is fitted? Txs, Eric.
