Identified cause: 0
Suspected cause: 0
Reported fixes

Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that report identifying a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Reported cause
But, the IMS issue is more concerning with the 3,4L engine ('99, '00 and '01 model year).

Suggestion
Don't quote me on this, but I believe the models that come with the navigation system use the "MOST" fibre optic system which can be a real burden to integrate and iPhone adapter.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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

So besides the IMS bearing what else so I be asking or researching on these cars that can become issues. For 996 owners with the Navi, how hard is it to add a IPhone adapter to these cars?

POST 2Original post

IMS and RMS are the only main issues with the 996. But, the IMS issue is more concerning with the 3,4L engine ('99, '00 and '01 model year). Also, make sure everything works on the car.

POST 3Original post

Don't quote me on this, but I believe the models that come with the navigation system use the "MOST" fibre optic system which can be a real burden to integrate and iPhone adapter. There are other ways, but perhaps not the most effective such as an FM modulator and what have you. Good luck!

Good point. In 2004 all the Bose systems are MOST. Very little upgrade options with complete rip and replace. However if you're just simply looking to stream audio via bluetooth from your iPhone this works great! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FRU5UNA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Supposedly has more to do with double vs single row bearings and the load it carries. Single row used in 2000-2005. Nice write-up here: http://www.oregonpca.org/resources/ims-bearing-the-full-story/

Water pump should be replaced at 60k miles. Excellence has a great article on these cars.

POST 7Original post

Had a 2004 and the radio/nav system was not the highlight. Given how other electronics seem outdated in 5 years... 12 is asking a lot.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
