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.

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

POST 1Original post

Have emailed you seperately. I have a Single CD/Radio from a 2003 996 - Repalced it with a Traffic-Pro

POST 2Original post

How do you find the TrafficPro? I assume since your 996 is a MY2003 that its an updated TrafficPro to work with the new wiring system? I didn't know you could fit a TrafficPro unit..I was told you couldn't and would have liked one...

POST 3Original post

Simon We have rules on advertising on this site, that adverts from members are done on the classified section (free of charge), this is to stop the discussion forums being clogged down with adverts wether relevent or not. I'm not going to delete the thread as it raises an issue people should be aware of. From 2003 model year onwards Porsche started using a different wiring system for the stereos. It is important to know what year car any headunit you buy comes from to be certain that it will work with your particular vehicle. If anyone knows the technical spiel of what Porsche did to the stereos from 2003 M/Y onwards please post away. DAZ (moderator)

POST 4Original post

Standard fit head unit is DIN type connector (ie copper wired) PCM is fibre optic and canot be modified Gary

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

If you have upgraded you radio do you have a CDR-22 cd player laying around collecting dust? If so I'd be interested in buying it. Mail me if your selling.., [email removed]
