Instructions for removal of CDR Becker

[jmatta]

Didn't have to remove the faceplate to remove my radio from the car (CDR-220). The keys you show are correct; just insert and pull the radio out.

You do not need to remove the faceplate to remove the radio. The faceplate does not appear to come off, however it you flip it down and pull it toward you it will pop out. My Boxster came with a leather sleeve to put it in.
It isn't very hard, but can take a little while to get back in.

Before pulling the radio, you should try cleaning the connection points between the front flap and the main body.

I have cleaned those and the reason I want the keys is because there are other connection points to clean back there right?? I cleaned the front gold connection points but my radio still is iffy cutting in and out.

IMHO the push-on connection at the back of the unit is not your problem. Unless there's a loose connection. But hard to see how that could develop with no movement of the wires behind the unit...

Sometimes when I hit a bump the radio cuts out which leads me to believe thats the issue, I will let you know as i just ordered the keys

IIRC there have been issues with the antenna connection in the right pillar.

I was in there playing with it on my car once, in a failed attempt to improve the cruddy reception from the window wire antenna.
