Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi I already have a becker 4720 in it, which looks just like a Cdr21, but the nav isnt upto much even on a good day, so upgrade or not? and if so what to? the most popular seem to be the pioneer avic systems, or should i try and stick with a single din unit? Any experience or views welcome (PS - will leave it in the car when i sell it (if i sell it) and no its not most or anything like that) Many Thanks Jon

I have gone through this quandry. I needed bluetooth phone and satnav. My 2003 996 had MOST, so it has been a pain. I have got the Kenwood 5240, but now need an amp and a few more bits and bobs. it will be 2K before I have finished. I have alternator whine and the system only works with the ignition on, both of which hopefully will be sorted on Monday. Pete

POST 3Original post

I think Richard had an Avic system, but his knob was too small ;-) and it didn't play MP3's from a memory stick properly

POST 4Original post

Now new amp installed, ignition problem sorted and alternator whine massively reduced. Another £575 spent and getting better. The alternator whine is suposed to be sorted on Wednesday, so fingers crossed
