CDC-3 6 Disc Magazine Cross Reference

[MNBoxster]

:lightbulb:

Hi,

Since getting my Boxster, I have been looking for an additional 6 disc Magazine for the CD Player (CDC-3). The Dealer wanted some outrageous amount for one and they're scarce.

I had come across someone stating there was a SONY cross reference for this cartridge, but I could never get a model #.

Anyway, on a lark, I bid on a SONY CD magazine on UK eBay which looked from the item descr. pics to be VERY similar. I won for $1 + S/H. I didn't know if it would work, but figured if it didn't, back onto eBay it'd go.

It arrived today and it is an exact clone save that it is stamped SONY rather than PORSCHE. The Model # is Compact Disc Magazine XA-T6 . I have already tested it in the car and it works perfectly.

Just thought I'd pass this info along to those interested. I have seen several of these on eBay, so apparently the SONY model is more abundant and considerably less expensive. Hope this helps.

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I think the guts of the CD changer are Sony too because they use the Sony Unilink protocol to communicate with the head unit.
