I have the iP-BKR2. Works great with no issues. I also have the CDR220.

I think what you used is better since it states specifically it is compatible with the CDR 220. During the install, did you remove the CD holder panel or do you have a compartment? If so, how did you remove the compartment?

For those that couldn't remove panels to access the radio and install the adapter, what did you use to remove the radio? I heard about getting keys....how much are they? Is there a substitute I can use?

Yes, I removed the CD holder and got a bin from Pelican. I got the keys from Suncoast. The CD holder comes out easily. Once you take the side panels off, you will see. I Dremeled a slot in the upper right corner of the shelf to slide the iPod chord through.



Here is the info for the shelf:

996-552-253-01-01C-OEM $46.75 1 $46.75
Storage Shelf, Upper (Satin Black), Boxster 986 (1997-2004), Brand:
Genuine PORSCHE

Finally got it and installed. Very happy with it. Thanks for the advice. Question-if I leave my IPOD/iPhone plug in, will it continue to draw power after I shut engine off?
