Do I need radio security code cards for my CD?

[braincuttermd]

With my former BMWs, I remember getting two radio security code cards for the CD player. When the power goes out (ie. unplug the battery), the code has to be put into the indash CD player before it works again.

I didn't get any cards with my 2003 C4S. I'm about to buy a CD4 Changer (will get Porsche Exchange near Chicago to install!!) and I'm concerned about the lack of the security code. Does Porsche use that antiquated system of code cards or is it something else?

Thanks!

No more code cards as of MY03.

When you buy the CDC-4 you will also have to buy a fiber optic kit and there are several depending on your options. Check the Boxster section because Raman just put one in his 2003 Boxster. After the car was apart we realized he had been sold the wrong kit. Lucky our local dealer had the correct kit in stock so he was only slightly delayed.

Thanks for the reply. I've been reading that thread regarding the 03 Boxter and 04 C2.

I have a 03 C4S with the CD 23 CD player, yes Bose system, yes ext amp, no navigation, no phone. I figure that the fiber optic cable I need is

996 622 708 00

I took that from the parts list thread.
