Hi everyone:
I'm checking to see if anyone has had/is having a similar problem. I've got a 2000 996 C4 with the Navigation system (PCM1 I believe) and a 6 disc CD changer under the hood (CDC-3). It was working up until a week ago or so when I ejected the cartridge to load different CD's. Now when I put in the cartridge, it doesn't seem to lock in place, that is, it could slide out, if the door was not there. When I press the CD button on the radio, it says "No CD". It almost seems like it does not have power. I tried fiddling with the inner gear loading system to no avail. Everything seems OK on the inside. Also, the 3 connectors (power/audio) seem good too however did not check their voltage.
Anyone have this happen with theirs? Can anyone suggest options. This unit seems a little expensive to replace.
Better than a 6 disc changer, is their a mod than could hook up to the cabling and play, say an iPod or something similar.
Thanks
Jimmy

can anyone help please according to my maual when removing the battery i have to switch off the engine and all electrical loads. so i removed the ignition key, then i disconnected the earth cable and then the live cable but after a few seconds the alarm whent off and the only way to stop it was to reconnect the cables then insert the ignition key turn on the ignition, then turn it off again remove the ignition key and press the fob.the only way i can avoid the alarm going off is to disconect and reconnect the battery is with the ignition on but i have been told this could cause something to short out. has anyone else had this problem?
thanks in advance for any tips.
