Introduction

Most high-end car manufacturers exceed their client’s demands in most regards but may lag behind technology when it comes to audio systems. Those wanting support for more attractive modern media formats, we offer the A2DIY-CDR30. This kit is compatible with virtually all Bluetooth phones, and sounds great whether using for mobile conversations, streaming music or listening to an audio device (e.g., Mp3 player, Sat radio etc.) on Porsche equipped CDR30 or CDR31 radio. Optional USB “Fast charging” kit can be added to keep power hungry devices charged and optional.

Installation

Radio removal required to gain access to connectors. For radio removal instructions click here for radio removal instructions.

Suggested 12V accessory sources:
1. In 968: Left foot well Fuse box at Row C, Fuse 1 (7.5A/15A)
2. In 987: Kick Panel Fuse box at Row B, Fuse 9 (7.5A)
3. Alternate: Remove hand-brake cover, locate orange wire. (See Fig. 5) To avoid battery drainage, ensure circuit to which you connect module 12V accessory wire is turning ON/OFF with key prior to finalizing. Voltmeter or test light recommended.
4. Tap WHITE wire (pin 12) on radio main Quadlock (See Fig. 6). This is the antenna/amp turn on controlled radio ON/OFF button. Please verify voltage remains @12V when radio is in “CD/AUX” mode.
