Yep, after weeks of researching and shopping I finally pulled the trigger on a beautiful Guards Red 2000 C2. Needless to say, I'lll be spending a lot of time with it over the next few days but I have a couple of quick questions. First, it doesn't have a CD player and I am planning on adding one ASAP. I'd like to put a 10/12 disc changer that can play MP3 CD's in addition to normal CD audio. Does anyone have recommendations on a unit that works well with the stock Porsche radio? Also, I haven't looked yet but would it be pre-wired making it much easier to install? Second, this particular car comes with the 4 tape holders below the radio. I'm thinking about just ordering the CD holders instead but since I'll have a CD changer in the trunk it really won't do me much good. Is there anything else that one can put in there? Even a blank plate may be more appealing. Ok, I'm off to go drive around the block again!

Hey! Congratulations! Don't forget to post the obligatory pictures. I'll be doing the same - just picked up my '03 C4S in Lapis Blue. If you are going to fit a new CD why not go for a changer in the boot but a CD player that also has a slot in the cab - that's what mine has. That way you can put the classics in the slot and still be able to pick something difference while driving. Enjoy the car! Barry
I really want to keep it as stock as possible so no new radio w/CD up front unless it's the stock Porsche one. I'm guessing it's cheaper to just add the CD changer though. Also, if the CD changer is compatible with MP3 audio format then I can put 150+ songs on one CD so I can literally put just about all my CD's onto 12 discs. I'll post pics soon!
Does nobody have any aftermarket CD changer recommendations? I'm going to call a couple of stereo places but I'd rather have some suggestions that I know work rather than completely relying on what they have to say about it.
Call Crutchfied, they are the top rated internet/mail order mobile electronics store. They will be happy just to give you guidance and let you know what works well for your new ride. Congrats too, let see some pics.
