If you don't tape it up you run the risk of the alarm randomly going off.

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.

As the topic states, I just removed the CDR220 to put in an Pioneer AVIC nav system I had.
Everything is working perfectly as far as the AVIC is concerned, however I now get honked at once when I lock the doors with the key remote.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the CDR220 being removed, does anyone know if there is something simple like a wire that needs to be jumped on the CDR220 power harness?
Thanks in advance!
This was sent to me from Loren on Renntech.org:
"Look for a Brown/Blue wire from the original radio connector and remove the pin and tape it (or cut and tape the wire)".
I replaced my unit with an Alpine and had the same issue.
Sorry if this is a silly question, but I'm not fully understanding.
The 2 connectors (cd changer had been removed already), one is the speakers (yellow) and the other is the I believe 8 (10?) pin wide connector (blue?).
Off hand can you recall if its off the speaker connector or the power connector?
If I'm understanding correctly, it sounds as though I need to make sure the Brown/Blue wire is not connected to anything, is that the goal?
There is a little single brown/blue wire all by itself that is normally connected to the stereo frame on the side.
It is all by itself on the left (drivers side) and not apart of any of the connectors that go into the back of the CDR220.
And yes, you need to make sure that wire is not grounded on the stereo frame or anywhere else for that matter, just hanging out by itself with some electrical tape around the connector.
Thanks, I'll take a look around, I didn't notice anything like that during removal, but it wasn't ideal lighting when I took it out.
Thanks for everyones help!
IIRC on later cars this wire might be in the harness in the stereo. IF you don't see it by itself, look for that color combination in the wire harness.
Oh ok, I'll take a look, mine is a 2001, so I'm not sure if that qualifies as "later" cars or not.
Going to check the schematics too.
Edit: Checked 99/00 schematics and it shows exactly as you describe above.
Going to try and see if 01 schematics are available...
I have the same issue! So, if I pull the stereo out, there should be a brown/blue wire connected where? Inside the frame, or between the inner dash and the outside of the frame? Anyone have a photo - I need visual assistance.
This brown/blue wire is either by itself connected to the frame on the left side or is inside one of the connectors in the rear of the unit.
Brown/Blue needs to be removed and taped.
Curious, does anyone know if this hampers the alarm in any functionality or is it just an annoyance?
I ask because I'm finding that I'm walking away from the car and can't hear the door locks sometimes, and the horn honking at me once is a good (albeit annoying) reminder that I've actually activated the locks.
The alarm still functions, yes.
There are other ways to get a beep though...
You can press the lock button twice, and it will auto lock the doors and honk, but disable occupant motion detection.
If you have a cab search for SmartTop and RemoteTop.
You can also leave the oddments tray sensor open.
Not sure if it's better to confirm the car is locked by hearing the horn, or, not having the horn draw attention to the fact that there is a Porsche in the parking lot!
open up the oddments tray wire eh??
I continually struggle with the question of whether my car is locked or not. I might just try this and would consider putting a switch in line so I can turn the functionality on and off.
In my previous cars I could always hear the locking mechanism activate so I could tell without looking back whether it locked.
On the 996, I can't hear it at all so the horn honk is actually working out in my favour, its staying this way (at least for now).
