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.

Just picked up a 2003 996 C4S yesterday
It appears to be lacking a couple of things though:
- What's the easiest/cheapest way to get an AUX in port installed?
- There aren't any cupholders (I understand these were an option??) How do people get around this?
..Have you got the PCM1..?
If so take it out, put it on a barrel at the end of the garden and give it 2 rounds from a 12 bore from 10 metres.., this will fix the first of your problems.
Now do a retro fit with a Kenwood/Apline unit with Bluetooth/Phone/Nav/Ipodery/3.5mm aux in/out.
The drinks holder is under the air vents on mine.. I will have to go and check, but it's defo got 1..
Post up a picture of what you've got in it now..?

Cupholders are standard on a facelift 996. At the top,of the horseshoe trim in the centre of the dash are the cupholders. Looks like a horizontal black strip, push one end and it springs open, pull it our furhher and a second cupholder is revealed.
I've got a 996.2 with PCM1, what Kenwood/Alpine double din do you recommend? have been looking at options today online and most of them look like xmas trees all lit up!

Thanks, will look into this and similar devices. Don't really want to change the head unit for something with garish neon lights.
Dension Gateway module is a good way of getting ipod/aux/USB connectivity - as long as your head unit has a CD changer, or the facility to control one.
My Porsche is too old to have such a thing (964), but I fitted one to my BMW E61, and it works perfectly with a 16gb USB memory stick.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
