Re: You just need the Becker aux-in cable

hello need the 6 cd changer that mounts in trunk that was part of Bose system on 2002 boxster S .

Rip your CDs and play them through an MP3 player. You get more music and less fuss for less $.

Racecar spelled backwards is Racecar

where would I learn about how to do this. how would a mp3 player be hooked up to the existing system?

The cable stays plugged in to the back of the stereo. When you want to listen to music you plug your mp3 player into the cable. You can use any mp3 player or even your phone (if you have a smartphone).

Here is what the cable looks like: [www.discountcarstereo.com]

ok thanks so I need to pull the main unit out to get the plug in and disconnect the cd changer?

but in any case you do have to pull out the unit to plug in the cable. To do that, you need the radio keys, which are widely available for about $3.

Does this cable work with the stock Becker unit with single CD?

I have six CD's held hostage in mine. The unit won't play them, nor will the storage unit eject them. I suspect a jam.

I am planning on a Becker-ectomy this summer, substituting a iPod-ready Jensen unit instead. As a bonus, I get a CD-reader inside the car (why the Porsche Bose receiver with CD-changer option would feature a tape deck inside the car I can't fathom).

However, in this day an age, a CD-changer is about as useful as a buggy whip. Get an iPod, enjoy thousands of songs instead of a mere hundred at best. If you're really nerdy, get a 5th gen iPod, swap out the hard drive for 240GB dual platter unit and enjoy tens of thousands of songs.

What's a CD?
