I would be happy to add more information. First picture is of the back of the head unit with the blue block carrying audio from the cd changer removed and the Becker aux input in its place.

I have been experimenting with the CR-220 with CD changer in my car. First I removed the blue block carrying sound from the CD changer and installed the aux input ordered from Becker in its place. There are three wires in the blue block-probably right, left, and a common ground. I used 2 RCA Y-adapters (one for right and one for left) to allow input from both the CD changer and the iPod. Small blade-like adapters from a local electronics store fit into the blue block carrying sound from the CD changer. I then attached RCA connectors to the other end of the wires and an on/off switch in the middle. The ground wires I spiced together. I can now listen to either iPod, CD changer, (or both at the same time). There is a new RPM associated hum annoying me quietly in the background when using the CD changer. If I get all the minor issues sorted out, I will post some pictures, if anyone is interested. If I cannot improve the setup, I will disconnect the CD changer, use the iPod exclusively, and either rip my audiobooks on cd to AAC or start using Audible.com. Any advice for improvements would also be appreciated. Greg 2001 996

996 Hardtop Disassembly
Greg replied to Greg's topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Rob, Sent an email and my address is below. Thanks Greg labenz@comcast.net -
I just purchased a hardtop for my 996. It had apparently sat in storage for a while and a few dead bugs and other debris collected between the glass and the parcel shelf. The space is too narrow for my fingers. I have cleaned the majority of the debris with a microfiber towel folded over a spatula. However for a more thorough cleaning I would like to remove the parcel shelf. How do I remove the shelf? I have released the pins on the plastic trim and the parcel shelf but it still is attached in some less obvious way. Thanks! Greg 2001 996 cabriolet

I have heard rumors of a hack that uses an aftermarket a/b switch to splice into the audio wires coming from the cd changer. The cd changer would be one source and the iPod the other. That would allow the audio from the iPod to be heard instead of the audio from the cd changer with the cd changer selected on the head unit. I assume the aux-in connector would not be used. Has anyone tried this?
