Cd changer

[Hannu]

Hi,
I was looking to get a Cd changer with my Christmas money and was looking for a bit of advice.
My 2000my is fitted with a CDC22 unit and all the connection appear to be under the bonnet for the Cd changer.
Will a CDC4 unit fit straight in ??

No. The CDC-4 is the fiber optic unit that came out for model year 2003 with the MOST system. It will not work with a model years 1997-2002.

You need a CDC-3 which is the same as a Becker 2660 Silverstone except it has the Becker name on it instead of Porsche. Unfortunately this Becker model has been discontinued as a Becker product, but Porsche $till $ells it. At least in the US. There are used and refurbished 2660 floating around in the US, perhaps in the UK as well..

The replacement for the 2660 is the Becker 7860. This unit is smaller and has a memory issue with the 22 (220 in the US) radio head.

CDC-3 or Becker 2660 will work - they are the same changer.

21 has the same specs as a 22 except the 22 has aux-in and the 21 does not. But you canot use the aux-in and a changer at the same time.

Toolpants thank you.

I have CDC 22 which has a single CD. What multi changer would I need to buy? Any odea of cost?

There are cables under the bonnet just sitting there so I pressume the previous owner had a multi changer and took it with him/her?

Cars up to 2002 had the cables fitted as standard (on UK cars).

The same changers as Toolpants mentions above will work I believe,

Some UK cars had something called cd changer prep. Look at your sticker and see if the option code 689 is on it. We never had this in the US.

The option code for the actual changer is 692. So if you have 692 on the option sticker than someone made off with the changer.

You need the same as the CDR21 above. The CDC3/Becker2660 changers go for around £100+ on Ebay, IIRC, usually more. Think the 2660 new is around £275 from audio dealers.
