I have a similar problem on my 03 Boxster. The CDR23 radio/cd skips shortly after the car is started. I have also noticed it will skip when the lights are turned on or the foglights turned on. Took it to the dealer and they are gonna replace the radio. One other thing is, I have had the unit lock up where none of the controls will work but the cd will be playing. The controls won't respond except the power button, which I can use to power off and when I power back up it seems to be okay. During this lockup there is a TP, a down arrow, and a backwards like E on the display. All in all it is very strange. I hope swapping the radio out works.
