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.

The damaged controller shell has been replaced, and a problem with the amplifier gain fixed, but unfortunately, there's still a fault with the tuning, that was there before, but presumably hasn't been noticed.

Five or six of them already have stations assigned, but I can't find any way to assign further ones, or change the existing assignments.

I'm suffering from not having a manual for this unit (CDR-32 - pretty rare I think), but I've been using the manual for the CDR-220, which looks very similar, apart from cosmetic differences.

The procedure I'm following is to use the menu button (down arrow) to switch to the menu and then selecting MAN for manual tuning.

This always used to work when I first had the car, but latterly, if I use a preset button with a station already assigned, the radio just retunes to that station, and the other buttons, with no station currently assigned, don't do anything.

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Porsche 911 996 Carrera 4, 1999 After years of searching for a reasonably priced replacement for the faulty CDR-32 unit in this car, I finally found a service agent to repair it, not too far away, in Shrewsbury. I left the unit at the shop - Les Evans & Son in Shrewsbury, (lesevans.co.uk) - and received it back a couple of weeks ago. The damaged controller shell has been replaced, and a problem with the amplifier gain fixed, but unfortunately, there's still a fault with the tuning, that was there before, but presumably hasn't been noticed. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this? I can't store any stations in the preset buttons. Five or six of them already have stations assigned, but I can't find any way to assign further ones, or change the existing assignments. I'm suffering from not having a manual for this unit (CDR-32 - pretty rare I think), but I've been using the manual for the CDR-220, which looks very similar, apart from cosmetic differences. The procedure I'm following is to use the menu button (down arrow) to switch to the menu and then selecting MAN for manual tuning. I then tune to the station I want, using the right hand knob (I know there are other ways of doing this, but they don't seem to make any difference). After a few seconds the display returns to normal, and it should then be possible to assign the tuned station to any of the preset buttons, by pressing and holding the chosen button. This always used to work when I first had the car, but latterly, if I use a preset button with a station already assigned, the radio just retunes to that station, and the other buttons, with no station currently assigned, don't do anything. I'm planning to go back to the repairer on Friday, but if anyone has any good ideas in the meantime, I'd be grateful. Thanks Ed
