2) Replace the amplifier with a conventional wired amplifier - again you have the speaker issue.
Leading evidence: 'Replace amplifier' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace amplifier' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

" If it is MY2003-on, then the Bose system uses the MOST (fibre optic) bus to transmit control and sound signals between the head unit, amplifier, telephone, and CD changer.

Ill have a dig through my emails and see if I can find the MOST adaptor I used when I did this in October last year.

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.

Also, this took some headscratching, at first making calls didn't work (couldn't hear other person) and I couldn't hear Waze notifications.
Guys
I'm getting my double DIN headunit installed in my 2003 996T. I just need to get some adaptor leads for the antenna and wondering what the yellow connector in the pics is for - can anyone point me in the right direction???
The climate control unit has been relocated to the bottom - I'll post pix once the install is finished
The yellow plug is part Of The mini ISO block.
For the antenna you need the adaptor to change between antenna types they are a couple of pound off eBay. The one you pictured does not look right.. You need fakra to din looking at your pics
You had just a standard single din head unit? Are there any door speakers or just dash and rears?
Thanks Asterix :thumbs:
Forgot to mention it's a Bose system so there are door speakers. Looks like I'll need an adaptor for the amp too (fibre optic?) - see pic
Owww.. Bose... Fibre optic.. That makes it a bit more complicated..
I've ripped off somebody else's post below on a different site but they seem to know what they are talking about, certainly more than me..
" If it is MY2003-on, then the Bose system uses the MOST (fibre optic) bus to transmit control and sound signals between the head unit, amplifier, telephone, and CD changer. In that case you have 3 options:
1) Bypass the amplifier, and connect the speaker outputs from the new head unit directly to the speakers. Not ideal, as the Bose speakers are a different impedance to the majority of car speakers.
2) Replace the amplifier with a conventional wired amplifier - again you have the speaker issue.
3) Use an adapter which converts the audio outputs from the new head unit to fibre optic signals, which connects to the Bose amp. There are a few on the market now, with prices from about £150 to £500. Connects2 make one which seems to do the trick, and isn't a ridiculous price."
Ill have a dig through my emails and see if I can find the MOST adaptor I used when I did this in October last year.
If I remember correctly, I avoided the Porsche tax and got one listed for Mercedes, turns out it's the same unit made in Germany etc.
One thing I have to admit, and I believe I wired it up correctly, if you stall and have to restart the MOST adaptor gets out of sync/ doesn't power back on. It's a key out, wait 5 seconds and restart to get it working properly again.
Also, this took some headscratching, at first making calls didn't work (couldn't hear other person) and I couldn't hear Waze notifications.
Turns out, I'd connected to the 'rear" RCA out on the back of the headunit.
Finally point, make sure your amp settings are neutral before removing PCM, I don't believe you can change them afterwards without reconnecting it back up.

One last point, likely to be manufacture dependant, but I originally hooked the dimming function for the display up to a trigger from the cigarette socket light. Unfortunately (certainly with kenwood headunits) this doesn't work due to the PWM dimming of the internal lights, you'll just get night mode cycling off and on.
Thanks for the replies guys
I've ordered the Connects2 CTSPO003.2 adaptor which should do the trick:

Further updates to follow....
It's an Xtron double DIN Android unit of some description - I bought it a while back on fleabay - never got round to fitting it till now.....
(I don't have access to it to be more specific right now)
