Changed the display color to orange and now have USB, Pandora, Ipod and better FM reception.

I used his kit for my double DIN install and it worked perfectly.

Was in my buddy�s 997.1 the other day and the stereo had nice bass and a clean sounding system.

Darn tempted though, and replace the 3.5" speakers.

I wish those Continental head units had preouts to go plug and play to use the amp.
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.

New member with a one owner 6spd 2000 Arctic Silver cab with 22k miles. Looked a long time and finally found a creampuff and love it with the one exception of the Becker radio. Got an Alpine from CAI with the plug and play harness and literally took 10 minutes to install. Changed the display color to orange and now have USB, Pandora, Ipod and better FM reception. Bonus is the Becker sold for $170 on Ebay and the new deck was $389. Nothing to re-wire a true plug and play with the tools to remove old deck.
CAI is Car Audio Innovations, Roseville, CA:

The owner, Rod Birch, drives a 996 that he's had for several years ... not only does his stuff fit and work like it should, but he's very responsive to emails. He actually understands the various audio systems that Porsche used in the 996 and will tailor product and/or installation packages accordingly. I used his kit for my double DIN install and it worked perfectly.
Highly recommended.
I am thinking of the exact thing but i think the Alpine just doesn't look right with the interior of the car. Darn tempted though, and replace the 3.5" speakers.
I wish those Continental head units had preouts to go plug and play to use the amp.
Did you use the oem speakers?
Really? The manual doesn't show that. Have you done it or know someone who has? That's good news if the case.

Thanks Dawg. I have the CD changer up in the frunk. Does the Alpine unit manage that as well? From the display, it appears to show you playing disc 4 in the remote tray, but want to make sure before I order.
This deck has BT, USB and will connect to an iPod via USB. Until I upgraded my whole system, I forgot how crappy compressed music sounds. I keep an old iPod in my GTI with everything at the highest bit rate. I'be been using CD's in my 996, just because they sound great.
It's in the technical manual not the operations manual. I found it online. But look at the picture of the accessories that is sold with the radio. You'll notice the yellow plug. That plug provides standard preamp output via two stereo pair RCA outputs.
Cheers!
IM seriously considering upgrading my stereo, especially the speakers. Was in my buddy�s 997.1 the other day and the stereo had nice bass and a clean sounding system. I really like the new porsche head unit with integrated bluetooth and nav. Anyone install one of these yet? Its supposedly made for 993 and previous models but I think it would look nice in the 996.
A lot of peeps on here equate the screen size to tiny weiner syndrome. I mentioned it before and it got a lot of laughs.
You're gonna have peeps either with tiny weiner syndrome or the old geriatric crowd that needs something bigger.
