Check the fuse in the fuse panel and replace it.

If that doesn't work, pull the radio and check the fuse on the back of it.

You should then get the word CODE on the front of it and using your four digit code will unlock it.

No code? Head to a dealership with proof of ownership and they'll look it up for you. They must pull the radio and get the serial number off it, so this can't be done over the phone.

If the display doesn't light up, replace the radio because it's a piece of crap anyway. Porsche never puts quality audio equipment in their cars because all Germans know the sound of the engine is music to one's ears and a radio is a necessary evil for Americans.

PS - just thought of something else. If nothing works after two fuse replacements, try jiggling the key and push in and pull out a bit while turning on the car. There's a remote possibility that it might be your ignition switch, which resides behind the key assembly in the dash. Don't worry, it's cheap to fix.
