Chad, my 97's CDR-210 has gone whacky as well. What you've described has happened, the whole thing has stopped for a minute and then poof! right back on, etc. The CD player will not work until the interior of the car is at least 70 degrees.

I think it's time to call Crutchfield and buy that Sony head unit I've had my eye on. Becker stereos are crap anyway.

I would imagine you'll be doing the same as well.

FYI - don't try to buy a CDR23 off Ebay and put it in... it requires fiber optics, which we don't have in our older cars. You can buy and install a CDR-220 and it will work fine though, although the "reverse" display may hard to read when installed in a Boxster.
