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

From my just sold 2004 996 I have an almost new CDR-23 radio left over (the car had an aftermarket Becker Traffic Pro installed). Silly question: can this CDR-23 be installed in any car? Can I sell this with confidence? The manual says that only an autorized dealer can do the change. A new radio needs to be registered in the car's electronics and only a certified Porsche dealer can do this. Should I have a Security Code (PIN) for this radio (I don't) or is this done from the car's electronic? In Ebay acutions some sellers write: '... after installation the radio needs to be activated through a Porsche dealer...' Is it that easy? No code needed? It would be a pity if the radio would be thrown away.... Wolfgang

POST 2Original post

The CDR-23 will need to be "sync'ed" with the MOST system in the new car. A PST2 or PIWIS tester will be needed to do this.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Loren, thanks a lot for the info. So there is no PIN or code I should have? Wolfgang

No, no pin or code. The radio is linked in the MOST controller and the DME.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

'paperweight mode'? What is 'paperweight mode'?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I now offered the radio in ebay and immediatly got a question whether I have 'the black codecard' coming with the CDR23. Sorry for rolling this up again, but I am confused Loren, you are sure I don't need a PIN, code or card? I really want to avoid trouble with selling something that does not work afterwards.... Wolfgang

Don't worry, you don't scare a newbie, I am a member of this board for 3 years now. But since I am not a native speaker I don't know all the adages
