Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Anyways, I removed my stock Becker CDR23 and one of the connectors from the Becker has me stumped....there is a small, yellow connector, called Connector "C" (6 pins, however, only 4 are used) that according to the pinout is for CAN Comfort.

I don't believe this gets connected to anything in the new stereo (an Alpine ILX-W650), however, wanted to check w/ the experts here to be sure.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, I'm in the process of installing an aftermarket radio into my 2003 C4. I have the HiFi MOST system in the car but will be replacing the factory amp with an Alpine unit, as well. Anyways, I removed my stock Becker CDR23 and one of the connectors from the Becker has me stumped....there is a small, yellow connector, called Connector "C" (6 pins, however, only 4 are used) that according to the pinout is for CAN Comfort. The 4 pins that are used of the 6 are: CAN Comfort HIGH, CAN Comfort LOW, Wakeup Diagnosis, and Keycode IN. I don't believe this gets connected to anything in the new stereo (an Alpine ILX-W650), however, wanted to check w/ the experts here to be sure. Thanks in advance-
