On the 996's, there's a space below the radio that was first filled with 4 cassette holders, then later 4 cd holders.. not sure if it's still there in the 997 or not. I own an '03 996, and I find the 4 CD holder thing kind of superflous and silly.. first of all, if I'm going for a long drive, 4 cd's aint gonna cut it. Second, my iPod and iTrip combo holds a *lot* more than 4 CD's worth. So, I'd love to take the CD slots out and convert them into
something useful - like a second storage tray..

Anyone ever done anything like this?

Well.. never mind.. I suppose I should do a little Google search before opening my mouth It turns out those CD trays are removable (just open
up all 4 trays and pull - the whole unit just snaps out - I just did it), and Porsche even sells a replacement tray without the holders.

If you're looking for the replacement tray, keep an eye on ebay, there's a place called "Oklahoma Foreign" that specialized
in parts from salvaged Porsches. I just picked up an upper storage tray to replace the CD trays for $30 + $5 s/h

There's also a place called "Europa Auto Parts" that will sell you a brand new one for 35.74 plus $8.05 s/h.

If you have already replaced your CD storage slots, I would like to buy them from you. Email me back and let me know. I have a 00 996 and it has cassette storage. I wouldn't mind upgrading it to the CD slots. Regie

 

I bought my 996 used and with no owner's manual. I thought those slots were a CD changer but could not get the damn things to play. That's my funny story about CD slots. (That was the question, right?)
