Hey Guys,

My last posts/thread may have been a bit confusing as to info I would like to find, so here goes:

1) Does anyone know of a source or part number for the brown connector at the back of the CDR-220 radio for the rear speaker kit, OR a source for the whole harness? The Porsche dealer cannot locate any of these in their system.

2) While I am at it, anyone know of a source or the part number for the white clip that holds the harness to the roolbar in the back?

3) Last choice, does anyone know where to find the schematics so I can hardwire, if I cannot locate the harness/connector, the speaker wires to the back of the CDR-220?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Sebastian

Becker sells individual parts. At least they did. We have local guys that had to replace missing parts for the rear speaker kit, and they were able to get them from Becker in New Jersy.

Sebastian,

The Becker web site has the connection instructions and wire digram, also the same information is in the Porsche radio instruction BOOK in English on page 28... Becker also sells the plugs and even the individual wire connectors for Gale settings (etc) is you want your system to be car speed - volume sensitive, a nice feature with the top down (socket A on radio Pin #1) Harry

Thanks everyone,

I have the guys at Becker looking for a harness, or at the very least the connector at the back of the CDR-220.

Just an update and a thank you to all who suggested contacting Becker directly. $46 on the Visa card and the entire harness is on its way from New Jersey!

While I am posting, does anyone have the white retaining clip for the harness at the rollbar? Neither dealer nor Becker had it available. If not, any ideas on fastening the harness so as not to interfere with the seatbelt/retractor?

Thanks again,

Sebastian

The dealer does not sell any parts for the kit.

Becker has the clip. At least they did a few years ago. A local guy bought 2 from Becker and gave me one. There is a number on it that may be a part number. 1 378 997. If he still had his Boxster I would ask him if he save the Becker invoice. See if that number does anything for Becker. Or maybe they no longer carry it. I thought the rear speaker kit went out of production a year or so ago.

You really do not need the clip. If you are concerned then zip tie the cable that runs to the radio to the hole in the roll bar that the cip goes into.

Thanks Tool Pants,

I will just zip tie it since the harness is already on its way from NJ.

Thaks again,
