I use playlists on Spotify on random so I don’t need to change track and hardly ever change the volume.

I know all the wiring that I need to run the amp is there apart from a live , what I'm not sure of is the MOST system looking for something that isn't there and issues caused by it.

I’m not interested in swapping the radio to an aftermarket item as previously stated as I don’t like the looks and won’t use any of the other features apart from Bluetooth/aux in.

When I got the car I fitted Rainbow components which were a huge improvement over the ASK speakers, I was originally going to use the Focal amp with the CDR but with the display dying and one of the knobs falling apart last year I decided against it.

The CDR display keeps going off and I never use the FM radio, I'm wondering if I can remove the headunit and just use a Focal impulse 4.320 amplifier that I've knocking around in a drawer with either a bluetooth module or 3.5mm lead plugged into 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.

Afternoon all, I have a 987.1 with the basic CDR and no Bose. The CDR display keeps going off and I never use the FM radio, I'm wondering if I can remove the headunit and just use a Focal impulse 4.320 amplifier that I've knocking around in a drawer with either a bluetooth module or 3.5mm lead plugged into it. Id be filling the gap that the CDR leaves with the shelf from a 997. Will removing the radio confuse the car or cause anything else to go wonky? Im not really interested in putting in a modern double din screen as I don't like the look of them. Am I being daft or is it doable ?
Edit to add, I wont be chopping any of the looms or anything as the amp has ISO ins and outs. It would be fully reversible if I wanted to sell the car in future.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I should have said I know how to take it out. I’m thinking of removing it completely and replacing it with the 997 GT3 shelf and having just an amp hidden away with an input for my phone.
Doesn't sound like the best of plans, what with the law change around touching your phone. How do you envisage controlling the fundamentals - for example the volume..?
I use playlists on Spotify on random so I don’t need to change track and hardly ever change the volume. If that was a problem though I could always fit something like this plugged straight into the amp
Alpine Electronics EZi BT DAB and Bluetooth Adapter, Black

Or put an inline rotary volume control hidden somewhere to turn the phone output up and down.

Use a phone cradle / mount?
My phone tends to live under the armrest when I'm in the 987, I currently use a rubbish bluetooth FM transmitter and can hear all kinds of interference and alternator whine. When I got the car I fitted Rainbow components which were a huge improvement over the ASK speakers, I was originally going to use the Focal amp with the CDR but with the display dying and one of the knobs falling apart last year I decided against it. I like the idea of no radio and just having spotify. I know all the wiring that I need to run the amp is there apart from a live , what I'm not sure of is the MOST system looking for something that isn't there and issues caused by it.
Just swap the headunit, simple. Even with a phone mount it will be illegal to actually touch the phone itself. Alpine make the highest quality source units.
Do you have an ipod lead? I added a buetooth ipod dock adaptor to mine, works a treat, far better than the FM things

I’m not interested in swapping the radio to an aftermarket item as previously stated as I don’t like the looks and won’t use any of the other features apart from Bluetooth/aux in. all I want to know is that if I remove the radio will it mess with the cars systems. I want to use the amp with either Bluetooth or hardwired. I won’t be touching the phone while driving as I put a playlist on random before I get the car off the drive and I never change the volume so the legalities are a non issue. Thanks to the previous poster il have a look at the link.
