4. Unlock the plug connections by pressing the plug locking elements -a- and pull the plugs off the radio -arrow-.
INFORMATION:
- The number of plug connections will vary, depending on the I No. (CD changer, Bose, amplifier).
- The variant without additional audio components (external Most control units) has a jumper (output to input) connected to the optical waveguide plug.
5. Press in the (coloured) detent hooks on the radio -arrow- and withdraw the removal tool at the same time.
Installing the car radio
1. Before the new radio is installed, unlock and disconnect the protective plug -A- for the optical waveguide.

Teaching the car radio
INFORMATION:
- If a new car radio is to be installed in a vehicle, the PCM2/CDR23 code specified in IPAS must be used.
- You can get the codes from IPAS or from your importer by specifying the vehicle identification number.
- If possible, before the car radio is removed and replaced, a read-out of the vehicle data should be obtained and noted down using the Porsche System Tester.
- During coding, the power supply for the Porsche System Tester should be guaranteed. Connect a battery charging device to the vehicle battery.
- Symbol for the TAB key = ->|
- The Porsche System Tester instructions take precedence and in the event of a discrepancy these are the instructions that must be followed. A discrepancy may arise with later software versions (from 20.0).
