But now I am thinking about upgrading the stereo toa traffic pro or a PCM and everywhere it says for vehicles built after 8/02 uses MOST bus...

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

Hi, Based on my VIN number, it is a 2002 C2, but the built date is 09/2002, which normally I would say it is a 2002. But now I am thinking about upgrading the stereo toa traffic pro or a PCM and everywhere it says for vehicles built after 8/02 uses MOST bus... I am confused. Anyone knows what I have? My current setup is upgraded HiFI Bose Sound System with CDR220 and BOSE Amp and 6 Disc Changer in the front trunk as well as Bose speakers.. Any info would be appreciated... thanks

POST 2Original post

I would think a 9/02 build car is a MY03. The model year cut over is typically August, and in many years a month or 2 before (my MY04 Carrera was built 7/03, for example). The digit in the VIN before the "S" is the year. MOST started in MY03 as far as I know. A sure way to tell is to see which CD changer you have--CDC-4 is MOST based.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. I agree. I will check it out tonight when I get home...

POST 4Original post

In 99, Porsche took August for vacations and retooled the lines for the next model year. So 7/99 is a 99. There's no 8/99 builds. Then 9/99 is an 00.I was under the impression that it was always this way...

POST 5Original post

if you have the CDR-220, then you have an 02. got shafted on the model year / equipment. the CDR-220 is analog, where as in 2003 model years, they made everything fiber optic with the CDR-23.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I guess I did... It turned out it is officially 2002 model... (:
