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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Can a 997 radio nav unit be retrofitted into a 996?

POST 2Original post

I doubt it, depends on what year. the 996 had 2 or 3 different optic systems and I dont think any are the same as a 997

POST 3Original post

It would be way, way, way cheaper to put in an aftermarket system, and it would probably work better too.

POST 5Original post

It's an out dated/cheap system, after market is way better.

POST 6Original post

I have asked my dealer tech, and the answer was no. He also opined how terrible the 997 Nav is - and I have to concur. I had a dealer provided 2010 Cayenne with the same Nav/Audio system equipped in the 997s. For starters, the phone system requires you to put in your SIM card. That is circa 1990's technology. That's right - NO BLUE TOOTH. Secondly, the Nav is way less sophisticated than the aftermarket Kenwoods etc. Do a search on Double Din head unit on this forum you'll see everyone's done a really clean double din head unit install from Kenwood, Pioneer, etc. It looks factory.

POST 7Original post

Get a portable unit. They're better, transportable, and getting cheap enough to be disposable. I have a Garmin 3790, it's about the same size as an iphone.

POST 12Original post

Hi everyone. So I installed the PCCB+ unit which works perfectly. Can read all functions from the car on it, use Apple play, radio, etc. A few weeks later I got the SD card. I installed it, and started the configuration wizard. Once through the wizard basics, it tells me I�m done, and then the whole thing crashes with a message stating �Unfortunately, iGO Navigation has stopped�. Once I click ok it reboots and does it all again. Anyone ever see this? Btw, I retraced the GPS location (in a-pillar) to confirm it was clear and wires were not damaged. Also pulled the unit to confirm connection was solid / in the unit, which it is. I am thinking maybe the GPS or SD card is bad - please let me know if you have ideas�

POST 13Original post

Please ignore - my apologies. Wrong thread. Ugh.

POST 16Original post

Wrong thread, thought I was posting on a camera topic.
