Info:
2001 Porsche Boxster
Becker CDR-220 Radio
6 Channel Amplified M490
Dash has the cupholder above the stereo

Problem:
The dang volume control does not work .... it sticks to one volume unless i spin the knob a bunch and it may or may not change and to what volume I never know so I'm thinking I better replace this thing.

Questions:
What does it take to install a double din radio/dvd/gps unit? Obviously the cupholder has to go. I think there are some tabs and a small plastic crossbar between the radio and the cupholder that have to go as well. The opening is about 4 1/2" tall and a double din is 4" so I will have to fill the space. Is there anything else I am missing?
I want to install rear speakers. Any thoughts on the PNP kit vs. the OEM kit?
What is this security code thing if I just decide to replace this thing with another CDR-220 that I buy on e-bay?
