Post cd changer install

I am looking at installing a Becker or Porsche 6 disc CD changer on my 1999 996. Does anybody have a link that would show me the steps involved in the installation.

This example is for a Boxster but a Carrera is identical.

Get the "removal tools" from your dealer. justa couple of bucks. Or you can get them from Becker. Then the radio just pulls out.

Here is an even better description... <a href="http://boxsters.addr.com/hacks/cd_changer.htm" target="_blank">Tom Morris's CD Changer install</a>

Yes, you just need the Becker Keys (about $1.80) or borrow a set.

Loren our cars look similar. I have 99 C2 with Aerokit , headers Fabspeed exhaust and intake along with some interior options. I have had the car less than a year and have only had a chance to put less than 1000 miles on it. Might as well live in Alaska with the weather in Pittsburgh.
