Hello All! I have a quick question. First the background information...

The Car: 2001 996 C2

The Headunit: Becker CDR-220

The Link: Dension Ice Link Plus

Question:

If I were to install a CD changer will I need to have the headunit programmed to recognize the changer, since it did not leave the factory with the changer installed? Or is it just a plug and play install?

I ask because I am installing a iPod link which should be recognized by the headunit as a CD changer. However after the install there is no CDC/MCD source option as I toggle through... The firmware is up to date, the software is current, the wiring install is done correctly, but no dice! Dension says that the headunit may need to be programmed to allow the CD changer to be active, and Porsche says that there is no programming to be done for the headunit. I'm so confused!!!!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Did you ever solve this riddle? I just went through the same exercise (installing the IceLinek) and got the same result -- no CDC option is offered. Thanks in advance for any help!
