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.

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

POST 1Original post

I'm intending to mount 2 Blaupunkt Class D amps stacked where the DVD drive would be for the NAV unit. Does anyone have any advice about how to fasten them down? I took a quick look and didn't see anything obvious. How is the DVD unit attached? Thanks in Advance!

POST 2Original post

I have the 6 CD changer. I'm not sure if this helps but there is a bracket that is bolted to the metal under the carpet.

POST 3Original post

That helps a lot! The bracket you have pictured is not present in my car. I need to try to get my hands on one. Thanks!

POST 4Original post

I think I found the part number for the bracket. P 997 645 221 00 You can double check using the Cayman Parts Catalog from Porsche PDF . I found it on page 287 of the 987C_USA_KATALOG.pdf.

POST 5Original post

Be careful when drilling and using screws in that area of your car. I remember a post a while back that someone drilled into the gas tank when trying to install something in that area. Good luck!

POST 6Original post

+1, I'd definitely avoid drilling in this area. I'd use industrial strength velcro.

POST 7Original post

I want to get this install over with... and get my car put back together, so I'm thinking about getting a little more creative. The whole equipment stack fits where the DVD drive would be, so I'm thinking of just bending an aluminum strap that I can bolt down to the bracket for that sealed box on the left. (What is in that thing?) Just that and some velcro should do it. I picked up a little 3" 12V fan to put in the space so that everything stays nice and cool too. I'm thinking I can power it directly off the amp remote lead so that it is only on when the audio is on. Should keep things nice and cool in there. I noticed that the space already has some ventilation slots, so the fan should be able to work effectively and circulate the air into the larger bonnet area.

POST 8Original post

I need to use my eyeballs a little more. Once I removed that small square of carpet I realized that there is a small flat platform with lots of mounting holes. There should be no problem making a bracket to hold the equipment in the DVD location.
