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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I am looking to upgrade from my pcm in my 2002 Targa. Has anybody got any suggestions of units to look at. I am looking for ipod, sat nav, bluetooth etc etc compatibilities. Any help or advise would be appreciated

POST 2Original post

i replaced mine with a kenwood KDC BT8044 which allows me via a cable to play ipod etc. it more or less replicates the facia of the porsche stereo. also blue tooth with my phone i ran the cable out through the small shelf just infront of the gear stick. its inconspicious. i then attached a cable to that which allows me enough cable to move it around in the car. can email you a photo if you want? its £200 plus about another £75-100 to fit. be careful as they may try charge you £300 which is the RRP however go online and buy it andy

I put in a Panasonic AVH3200-BT (photo below) Does bluetooth, ipod, also plays from SD cards etc. My car had MOST but in the end the speakers just ran straight into the back of the headunit OK. Local supplier who claims expertise in high-end stuff charged me top dollar for the unit and fitting and I'm not happy with the fitting - look at the botched bar above the unit. It's going back and I've had to buy a purpose built surround from the States (Google Euro Motorspeed ebay) and I'll let you know what it looks like then. One word of warning - the new unit only works with the ignition on, so you can't sit in the car with the engine off listening to the radio. It's got some chav-tastic "demo mode" instead of an off switch.
