My question is, do you guys think it is worth to yank it out and replace w/ my CDR 24 or I should try to sell the car with it?

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.

20 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

Greetings fellas I have a 987s MY 06, w/o bose and w/o CD changer that I bought about 4 months ago. I wanted with nav, but one do not chose equipment on used car so I had the original PCM w/ navigation installed. The thing is that I will be moving abroad, so I will sell the car soon and I won't see the money I put in the PCM /nav back, so I'd rather sell all of it, GPS antenna, power cable to the DVD and fiber optic cable along with the DVD and head unit. My question is, do you guys think it is worth to yank it out and replace w/ my CDR 24 or I should try to sell the car with it? Any idea of a price range for the whole thing ( PCM , DVD nav player, navigation disk, fiber optic cable, gps antenna and cable, power cable to the DVD)? Thanks guys,

POST 2Original post

Dunno much about the US market, but IMHO the PCM would make the car more appealing for potential customers, if you got a customer that wouldnt mind having a non PCM car, I think selling it separately would yield better profit! ________________________ "Sir! We're surrounded!" - "Excellent! We can shoot in any direction!" A good car will get you from point A to point B. A great car... will just get you into trouble!

POST 3Original post

Yep, apparently it has to be the hard way. People love navigation but are not willing to pay for OEM device, particularly with a lot of options around US$100 around here. I think I'll endup taking everything out and selling it as a "kit". Any takers?

POST 5Original post

PM me also with the price, i might be interested. I have an 08 without bose and without Cd changer, so it should work.

POST 7Original post

Yes it should work fine, it is the same setup I have here. PM sent

POST 9Original post

how complicated is it to install the unit you are selling ? I am not crazy about tearing into my console.

POST 10Original post

It was incredible easy, some guidelines are posted here and on 6speedonline. All you need to disassemble are the two lateral panels with 2 screws each. That part took me 5 mins. The busy part, not difficult but lenghty, is mouting and wiring the navigation. Total time I would say, depending on your experties, from 60-90 mins. It works fine and also plays MP3. If you have sport chrono package , I believe you can ask to a Porsche dealership to set it up to control the door opening, lighting (as Sport chrono package plus) etc...

POST 11Original post

Ok, then how much are you wanting for it. also is it just the basic nav system i noted that there is an additional cost for somethng that records and logs trips if you were to buy it from the factory. thanks

POST 12Original post

Yes, you can get the log feature with a dealership, don't know for how much 'cause I was never really interested in that feature... PM sent...

POST 14Original post

For the PCM , DVD nav w/ CD, all cables including fiber optic and DVD bracket, 2500

POST 15Original post

At $2500 I'd be interested. Can you tell me the part number of the PCM ? I have a newer 987 and the TSB claims I require part 997.642.141.10 Thanks!

POST 16Original post

I can't be sure, I lost the paper where it was written, but I can tell you it works fine for a non- Bose , no-cd changer system. As far as I know those are the variants for 987. For instance, for 997, it varies if it is a Carrera 2 or 4, not important for us 987's dudes... Let me know if that suffices, otherwise I need to remove the PCM ...

POST 17Original post

Thanks for the quick response. After some further digging around, it seems Porsche have two different TSBs for the retrofit covering "MY06" and "MY07 and later" cars. The TSBs list different part numbers for the PCM unit and Navigation modules, and it is not clear how/if the parts actually differ. Rather than a take a risk I think I will keep looking. Good luck with finding a buyer elsewhere. I think the price is very reasonable.

POST 19Original post

There are threads around here that tell you what you need. The official retrofit kit is not necessary to make it work. As long as you have a matching PCM + Nav and it has the necessary amplifier ( bose /non- bose ), you should be good. Many of us have done retrofits of PCM or PCM +Nav.

POST 20Original post

That's exactly what i tought, but it's his money, so it's his prerogative
