Is is possible to make the fog lights stay on with the high beams on? It sure we be nice on those dark rural roads in the morning to see in the distance and also in the ditches. My car is a 2000 Boxster S that had Litronics added when I got it.

IPOD connection with CDR220 - Having problems
pdavis1 replied to pdavis1's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
:D Figured it out. The grounding pin #18 on my radio doesn't ground. I unplugged the brown wire from the kit and grounded it to the radio case and everything worked. So, I moved the brown wire next to the red wire {#17} on the bottom and it appears to be ground. Either way, it's fixed, works great. Thanks anyway! -

My car is a 2000 Boxster S I bought last year with 16,000 miles on it. I don't think is has the Bose amplifier. There was no connector at all in the top or C receptacle. One thing that interests me is the fact that when I replaced the battery last summer, the radio code was incorrect. I had to get the serial number from the radio and have my dealer, Porsche Exchange near Chicago, give me the correct code. That indicated that this is not the original radio as delivered with the car. The car has no door speakers which I would like to find and install but it does have the rear speakers / sliding door tray. Could the car have came with this originally? I have double checked the pins a couple of times. I even checked a couple of different sites that give the function of each pin to make sure. Late last night I even removed the wires from the connector and clipped them onto the radio individually. At the ipod end I first checked using the headphone jack. Then I went in the house and grabbed the docking station so I would be sending the signal from the bottom. I don't have a changer but everything else sounds fine, Radio, CD, or even the IPOD using the FM transmitter that I am trying to avoid for intermittent static problems. The sound almost has to be heard to be believed. It's like the vocals are way in the background and it sounds like the speakers are worst than the Porsche speakers really are. -
:help: I got the AUX turned on no problem. Connected the blue connector to the wires per the Becker instructions. Plugged in the RCA to mini connector. Just to make sure things were going right, I plugged the IPOD in. I get sound but it is aweful, the vocals are missing, there is no bass. I double checked my wiring per the Becker instructions, took the RCA to mini cable in the house and connected it to the home stereo and it worked fine. I noticed that the volume is very low if only one RCA is connected. What is wrong! Is my radio screwed up? Is my Becker connector bad?
