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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

For my 98 996.I want something in keeping with the 996 dash and be capable of being connected to the factory 6 speaker amp.

POST 2Original post

Depends on your budget - the Porsche Classic Nav is perfect, but its £1000+

POST 3Original post

Do you want single DIN, or go the whole hog and move the climate control and put a screen in? I went with a single DIN Kenwood which had a relatively simple facia and allowed the screen/button colour to be customised to match the dash illumination.

POST 4Original post

Xtrons Double Din £140 F*** that s*** paying £600+

POST 6Original post

Did you see the guy on PH with the Xtrons install on his Boxster S. Quite nice IMHO.

POST 7Original post

If you are interested in the continental head units it's more cost effective to get them direct from the manufacturer rather them exporting them to the US and buying them from a third party and re importing them back into Europe. http://www.vdoshop.co.uk/acatalog/CDD7418UB-OR.html

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the replies chaps.Ideally I would like to stay single din as I don't want to modify the dash opening,although I must say they look very neat! :?:

POST 9Original post

But presumably that one doesn't come with a wonky 'PORSCHE" sticker over the original Continental branding ?

POST 10Original post

I've somewhat of a collection of Becker headunits, and I've settled on the 7820 as the best match for the 996 dash. The buttons are too fiddly on the Cascade, and the illumination is wrong. The Indianapolis is partway between the two, but the display doesn't do negative illumination and the screen is grey when it's off unlike the rest of the dash. I like the 7820. I don't care too much for the bells & whistles that other people obsess over. I can play CDs, or plug my phone into the aux input. Or use a cheapie Bluetooth dongle if I REALLY need to. That's all I need.

POST 11Original post

radio upgrade I have just gone this route yesterday. Mike.

POST 12Original post

I use a Porsche Becker CR22 tape deck. I upgraded the speakers a while back. I have a credence tape, a £1.99 aux wire and £14 bluetooth kit which means I can play / nav / stream / talk anything from my phone.

POST 13Original post

Wow, and I thought I had a hoarding issue.. That's an impressive collection! I bought a 14 quid hardware Bluetooth kit for mine too, I keep on looking at the continental headunit though.. Don't think I can live with the heater controls in the lowest position to allow double din and I don't have Alex's engineering skills to move it up..

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a CR21 Tape deck but one of the outputs to the front left speaker doesn't work. I have swapped the speakers over and tried another amp so I think the headunit is the fault. Its a pity because because otherwise the sound is quite good :thumb: Oh and I like that it says Porsche on the front of it :grin: :wack: :lol:

POST 15Original post

Let me know if you replace it, and will let it go. I have a tatty one in need of decent buttons and front.
