I've had a 2000 Porsche Carrea 4 for over a year, and the CD player has never worked.

It's a Becker 1

CP2081

Type 4462

I keep getting a 'no CD' message but there are CD's in the tray. Is there any config on the head unit I need to do? Any debugging steps you know of? How do I get the head unit, and CD holder out of the dash to check the wiring?

Thanks.

Becker's website says that your stereo is a CDR-220 (4462). www.beckerautosound.com

you can send it to them for service, but Becker radios are crap. i wouldn't waste my time. i replaced my CDR-220 with a Nakamichi CD-500, which is a kick-a$$ deck! it has a very subtle, stock look. not gaudy and no flashing lights, etc. a little pricey at $450, but WELL worth it. i got mine from www.onlinecarstereo.com.

here's a pic.

to remove the CDR-220 you need the Becker removal keys. you can order them on the Becker site. i think they're $2.00 plus $5.00 small order fee, plus shipping. probably $10 total. or maybe another Porsche owner that you know has some that you can borrow.

i am sure it's not the wiring. if the radio works, but not the CD player, it's definitely not the wiring. Becker radios just suck. that's the problem. ;)
