Instructions for removal of CDR Becker - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I lost my owners manuel and i can't seem to find it on search, can someone link me or send me instructions on how to do this? My radio is cutting in and out and I'm certain the connection points being dirty is the culprit. Thanks!

I haven't taken one out for awhile, but as I recall it's pretty simple. Remove the face plate. Slide the "removal tools" in on each side and the unit slilps out. If you don't have the tools, they're available on Ebay pretty cheap (and probably Sun Coast, etc.)

Oh thanks, that does sound easy! How do i remove the faceplate?

The removal keys are in fact available at Sun Coast. The face plate pops off when you push the button on the face plate. Mine's a tiny rectangular button on the right side (with no label on it.)

Oh ok, does your faceplate come off completely? Mine just angles forward to let the cd in and out. I have the CDR-220. Thanks!

As with some other items Porsche, the keys are the same as VW and can be had on ebay cheaper than I'll bet a Pcar part is.

My face plate comes off, and in fact the car came with a little plastic box with "Becker" on the lid to put the face plate in. Behind the face plate are big bright red letters saying "SECURITY."
