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

I want to install an Alpine XM system with FM modulator to the current CDR-210 radio but cannot figure out how to pull the CDR-210 out of the dash so the Apline unit can be wired inside the dash. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Mark

POST 2Original post

You need the Becker Radio removal keys, BNA-1184.989, available from Becker NA at [phone removed] x1209 Karl

POST 5Original post

Mark, Don't want to rain on the Parade, but make sure you check XM out in the areas you'll be driving. Here in Ct/NY state etc area where hills & 6 (appx) plus story building abound, reception is very sporadic. However it could just be the system on my '03 Escalade. At $30-40 a month was a waste! Hope U have better luck, the concept is great. Bill

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Bill, I had the Alpine XM system (FM modulator version) installed in my wife's Saab 9-3 convertible and it works really well. The subscription is $10 per month and the overall reception for this part of VA is quite good. I'm planning to install the exact same system in my 996 if I can figure out how to get in under the CDR-210. I actually obtained the becker tool and was able to easily remove the head unit, but I'll have to somehow remove the center console piece (which holds the 4 CD holder) and try to get in under the CDR-210 so I have a place to physically install the Alpine unit. Any ideas on how to do this are welcome. Thanks.
