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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

hi there, so i decided to join 21st century and got myself a CDC-4 porsche OEM cd changer on ebay. i want to install it and hook it up myself before taking it to the tech to get the system reprogrammed so it would recognize it. the question is: has anybody done it? sounds like i need to get a mounting bracket and a wiring harness. any clue on part numbers for these? any DIY documentation out there on how to get it going? thanks. the car is 2003 996 Cab with bose sound.

POST 2Original post

I believe the wiring is in place. bracket should come w the changer. if you are going to pay the dealer to activate it, you might as well have them install it since they'll charge you an hour of labor anyways. Did you know you can use the CDC input in the head unit for ipod? a lot of ppl use this instead of changer.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

no brackets came with the changer, i bought it on ebay. yeah, i know about iPod but i dont want to spend $400 on the dice adapter and i wont have MP3 tags on the screen anyways (so it will be like using iPod in the dark) i wouldn't take it to the dealer, i'd take it to a local indy shop and they would charge for actual time spent (30 minutes, etc.)
