CDC - 3 problems

[Danw8976]

Hi all,

As per title, my CDC - 3 isn't working, it doesn't seem to have power as there is no sound when I try to eject and the head unit just says empty Catrage.

My first point of call is the fuse, any one know where this is?

Model and year of your car please? It really helps when need to look up wiring diagrams...

Check fuse E6.

There is also a small fuse under a flap on the side of the CDC3.

Hmm I have the same issue on a 2001 996 C4 with the Porsche Radio - CDR - 220 and separate DSP. I did not even think fuse as I can hear the changer running. But maybe the small fuse is part of my problem.

The Car is a 2002 996 facelift.

Can't seem to find any fuse on the actual unit just two circular twist points ether side ( I assume these are to be set to the direction the changer is mounted)

From a UK Porsche forum. This quote was from an independent Porsche Specialist:

At the back of the CDC 3 unit is a little black cover which is held on by small posidrive screws (2, I think). Take this off and inside is a glass fuse. This has a habit of blowing.

Cheers Richard, I'll pull it apart at the weekend
