Suggestion

Some people actually like the 2002 model and earlier models because they still have copper wires, and you can replace the OEM system with an aftermarket system much more easily.

Suggestion

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure the MOST cars use the CDR-23 and CDC-4

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.

10 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.

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

Outcome without a verified action link

In an ironic twist of fate, Porsche was NOT supposed to be the first one to deploy MOST, they were supposed to be the last after Mercedes and Audi...just didn't work out that way.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Looking at a 2002 996 with a build date of 7/02. It has a CDR220 and a CDC-3 with "digital sound" whatever that means. The salesman thought CDC-3 meant it was a Most bus car, but I really don't know what to look for in order to tell. From the above info, can anyone tell me? Thanks - Jon

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Been searching, and I think you're right. Thanks!

POST 4Original post

My early build 996 (9-01) has a CDR 220. It kind of sucks but it's not a MOST system.

That all depends on your point of view. Some people actually like the 2002 model and earlier models because they still have copper wires, and you can replace the OEM system with an aftermarket system much more easily.

POST 9Original post

Correct. MOST was "supposed" to be introduced for MY02, but due to delays, an analog system was put together (literally at the last minute).... MOST ended up being released on MY03. In an ironic twist of fate, Porsche was NOT supposed to be the first one to deploy MOST, they were supposed to be the last after Mercedes and Audi...just didn't work out that way.

POST 10Original post

Funny thing is.. I just remembered my car is a late 02 as well
