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.

Performed · outcome unconfirmed
The dealer replaced the radio but the problem persisted - under further investigation, a CDC fault was identified (not sure what code it was), and the CDC was then replaced - now the entire system works perfectly.

Suggestion
You will need a set of radio keys to remove the radio and check (about $2 from Becker) - or you could make them fix it since they worked on it last.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Unsuccessful attempt
The radio would mysteriously cut out either with or without using the CDC. The dealer replaced the radio but the problem persisted - under further investigation, a CDC fault was identified (not sure what code it was), and the CDC was then replaced - now the entire system works perfectly.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

almost everytime i get in my car my security light is flashing on the stock radio and the radio will not respond to any changes volume - on/off or input. i am able to fix this by hitting the ejecet button & closing the radio immediately. why does this happen & how can i fix this? it is a 99 c4 w/o the hifi i believe. I tried searching the forum but found no help. tia

POST 2Original post

The security light normal flashes - unless you program it to be off. What model radio? CDR-220 or ?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

i am not sure what radio model - i have had the car for 6+ months now & it did not do this until recently (maybe 2 weeks ago) - i do not believe I did anything to it

POST 4Original post

THATS NORMAL IF THE CAR IS OFF POSIBLEY A IGN SWITCH GOING BAD

POST 5Original post

If it is a factory radio it will say something like "Porsche CDR-220" on the front.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

it is indeed a cdr 220 - as well i noticed that i am not able to switch to the cd changer too. All of the wiring for the changer was replaced by porsche when i bought the car

POST 7Original post

Look in your manual for more info. but I would remove and carefully clean the contacts on the (removable) faceplate. If the dealer replaced the wiring and it is not working right then they may not have gotten all the plugs on the rear of the radio plugged in. You will need a set of radio keys to remove the radio and check (about $2 from Becker) - or you could make them fix it since they worked on it last.

POST 8Original post

When I bought my '04 C4S from a dealer, it had the factory radio and CD changer. The radio would mysteriously cut out either with or without using the CDC. The dealer replaced the radio but the problem persisted - under further investigation, a CDC fault was identified (not sure what code it was), and the CDC was then replaced - now the entire system works perfectly. All covered under warrantee. Phil

POST 9Original post

Sorry, but the radio in a MY04 is a CDR-23 which is completely different than the CDR-220. CDR-23 is on the MOST bus and uses fiber optics whereas the CDR-220 is all "wired".

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
