I think the car has been idle at a dealer for a number of months - a decent internal clean might help on the single unit before I have a word with the dealer....

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Proud new owner of 996 2003 Targa - anyone reading this still considering a purchase of a 996 just do it!!! Reason for post: I have Sat Nav and 5 CD changer unit, but the changer unit isn't registering with the computer and the single CD unit jumps on occassions. I think the car has been idle at a dealer for a number of months - a decent internal clean might help on the single unit before I have a word with the dealer.... anyone with similar experience or suggestions? And if it did have to be replaced what are we talking? Many thanks!

The PCM units are a bit unreliable. I have an 04 996 and last month the unit informed me that the CD changer was not registering. Took it to the dealer to be told that i needed a new unit. Decided not to bother and the following week it started to work again! I would suggest that you go to a dealer and get it rebooted to see if that solves the problem.
