I have an '02 996TT and have come across a CD changer out of a '99 996. Will the CD Changer out of the '99 work with the head unit in my '02?

If so, I assume my '02 is pre-wired for the CD changer, correct? What will I need to complete the installation? I believe there is a mounting bracket specific to the 996TT for the changer-any one know the part number?

Thanks in advance

 

I'm not sure if it was '02 or '03 when they switched to an optical MOST BUS, but if it was '02, you will not be able to use a changer from a '99. I have one from an '03 that I might be looking to get rid of, taken from the car at 5,000 miles. (I can pull the bracket, if you need.) In the cars with a MOST BUS, you will need to have the dealer "activate" the changer, as just plugging it in is not enough.

 

03 is the first year of the awesome Fiber Optic.

 

 

Thanks for the reply guys, I think it is compatible.

Is the '02 pre-wired for the CD Changer or will I have to buy an extension to the existing harness? Also, can someone post a pic of ow its munted?

Thanks again.

 

I can snap a picture of the mount when I get to the car this weekend. (I assume it's the same on all of the model years.) I can't help with the wiring question, though. I have the MOST bus.

 

Thanks for the help Seth!

Anyone else with respect to the wiring?

TIA

 

I need to know as well. I think it is pre-wired.

 

I bought an '02, and needed the CD mounting hardware to mount my Phatnoise. I had to do a bit of research to get the part numbers. I ended up not needing all of this stuff, since I was mounting a Phatnoise and not a CD changer, regardless I bought ALL of the changer mounting pieces. I did NOT order the cable as I had to fabricate a custom cable for the Phatnoise. So this is everything BUT the cable. If you buy a cable remember to route cable to it's destination before inserting the pins into the connector.

Genuine Porsche Part: U-CLIP Qty 2 ($2 for both) - I believe these were included with the changer bracket, so you may not need these. Can't remember for sure. I can check the garage for extras to make sure.


That's it, hopefully it helps you out and at least gets you real close to everything you need. I ordered from Pelican Parts.

 

It is ready, but not prewired, you need a harness. As far as activation I believe you can find the instructions here on 6speed. I'm in the same boat but decided to hold off since the stock CD changer is **** and will not play any burnt cds, MP3 cd's or anything of that matter so you're stuck loading it up with all your original Beatles favorites.

 

my stereo shop told me the changer is or compatible with Sony head units.
