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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A recent post got me wondering: Have you ever removed the faceplate of your Porsche radio (CDR210/220 or CR210/220 or similar) for security reasons? If you answered Yes, is this something you did only when the car was new to you, or something you continue to do?

POST 2Original post

Back in the late 80's - 90's it was a thing for mostly aftermarket high end radios to deter theft. Not so common these days now that OEM's use security coding and or integrated proprietary systems. I once had a Kenwood model that had a handle on it for removing the whole head unit to take with you.

POST 3Original post

No - never. Nobody is going to steal the CDR out of a 996 (or at least not more than once after they try to pawn one).

POST 4Original post

Same thing with airbags really. People jacking airbags to resell them. But I don't think a radio has been stolen since the 90s. Only removed mine to clean the copper contacts.

POST 5Original post

You say that now; but once I figure out where you live from your license plate, that CDR is M I N E.

POST 6Original post

+1 point for bringing that crap full-circle. (full disclosure: I gave my CDR-220 away to someone who wanted to prolong their aural torture)

POST 7Original post

Heck no !!. I'm afraid I'd loose it, or break it, then I'd have to spend money for a real head unit....
