Checked codes and found CDC fault - replaced CD changer at no cost - system works well, but I'm unable to access either the GAL or LOUD settings when 'SOUND" is repeatedly pushed.

Suggestion
This system uses the microphone (for handsfree phone and/or AP) installed in the vehicle and wired to the Bose DSP amplifier to monitor sound levels in the cabin, compare it to the audio source and adjust accordingly.
Leading evidence: 'Check codes and found cdc fault' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

Dealer replaced CDC with CD-4 Porsche unit - I'm assuming that is the factory spec unit that came with vehicle - is that correct number?

Suggestion
If a Porsche sound package is present, "Setting DRIVER" is called up
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Suggestion
The loudness function has been disabled by PAG as part of their specified S/W build, so it can't be turned on without a new S/W version and/or test code loaded into the headunit.

A Loudness setting was determined to not be necessary during test drives by PAG early on and would conflict with the standard vehicle level tuning/EQ's.
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.

However, once into the USER setting and I press the MENU botton repeatedly (per the instructions) it goes immediately out of USER mode and back to normal audio mode.
Have an '04 C4S with upgraded Bose system (CDR-23) and 6 disc in trunk. Radio was cutting out and giving weird displays, so dealer replaced with new CDR-23 under warrantee. Still didn't work. Checked codes and found CDC fault - replaced CD changer at no cost - system works well, but I'm unable to access either the GAL or LOUD settings when 'SOUND" is repeatedly pushed. According to the manual, they should work. Dealer replaced CDC with CD-4 Porsche unit - I'm assuming that is the factory spec unit that came with vehicle - is that correct number? Can someone with an '04 trunk mounted changer please check? Any insight as to the other questions is appreciated. Thanks!

Phil - I have a similar problem which I posted back in April of this year as follows:
I have an '04 with CDR-23. I received only the Quick Reference Guide with the car but I was able to download the Adobe version of the CDR-23 Manual. However, when I attempt to access the GAL setting this option does not appear.
There is a comment in the manual pn page 18
If the right rotary control/push button is pressed, "Setting GAL" is called up. If a Porsche sound package is present, "Setting DRIVER" is called up
.
On page 19, the GAL setting is covered. However, once into the USER setting and I press the MENU botton repeatedly (per the instructions) it goes immediately out of USER mode and back to normal audio mode. Additionally the top paragraph in the center section on page 19 states
This setting is saved in dependance to the set user. This setting may only be made if no sound package is connected. To switch the GAL function on or off, see "Speed dependant volume control (GAL)" on page 6
.
I have the BOSE option and I believe that qualifies as a "sound package." Consequently, I guess those of us that that have CDR-23 with a "sound package" (Bose or ???) can not access GAL or LOUD!. WTF???
If I am wrong, please correct me! Thanks!
Tim,
I downloaded the PDF for the unit as well. Interestingly, with the CDR-23 in my car originally (prior to the replacement), I was able to access the GAL and LOUD features. I'll check to see if I can do so using your suggestions and let you know. Thanks.
Phil
A few comments, from memory:
1. CDR23 (like PCM) are Becker products and have nothing to do with Bose (which is only the amplifier and speakers)
2. A Bose equipped Porsche will not use GAL (speed dependent volume), rather it uses AudioPilot (also called vehicle noise cancelllation or VNC). This system uses the microphone (for handsfree phone and/or AP) installed in the vehicle and wired to the Bose DSP amplifier to monitor sound levels in the cabin, compare it to the audio source and adjust accordingly. It is accessed as AP from a CDR23 headunit.
3. A Bose equipped Porsche will not have Loudness function enabled, just Bass and Treble. A Loudness setting was determined to not be necessary during test drives by PAG early on and would conflict with the standard vehicle level tuning/EQ's.
Hope this helps a bit.
Itc, it helps a great deal. I am able to access AP (I leave it off - I had it in my '05 S4 and it could not be disabled), and the other sound functions minus the loudness feature. Based on your post, there's nothing wrong with my unit - it's working as per factory specs. I wonder if the loudness function can be accessed, since it's apparently programmed into the head unit?
Anyway, thanks for the info!!
Phil
The loudness function has been disabled by PAG as part of their specified S/W build, so it can't be turned on without a new S/W version and/or test code loaded into the headunit.
You're welcome.
