Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Since we we got the car last week I've already fitted the mounts for the hardtop, removed the center console for painting and also opened up the reverse light switch for repair to get the back up lights working...

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all 👍 In approximately 24 hrs I intend to dive in to a PCCM Plus install on a 2004 996TT equipped with Bose and a CD changer in the frunk, haven't checked for an Amp in frunk as of now, maybe that's a given with Bose, im unsure. I ordered my unit it from my local dealership who requested my VIN and proceeded to supply a new frame ( can't see why as I'm already double DIN ?? ) also a small 4 inch brown ground wire with a ring fitting Im unsure on a few connectivity issues at this point and am hoping for some clarification from any clued up rennlisters my first question is regarding the ground wire and it's purpose and placement within the install secondly I've heard you need to access the antenna booster in the A pillar and action some sort of bypass and or grounding, my question is for what reason and how do I carry this out ? I have the orange fibre optic closed loop, am I right in assuming that is to isolate the redundant cd changer ? If if I do indeed see an amplifier in the frunk, what action there ? Since we we got the car last week I've already fitted the mounts for the hardtop, removed the center console for painting and also opened up the reverse light switch for repair to get the back up lights working... all successfully i feel like im on a bit of a roll so would love to complete this install without too much drama this weekend thanks in advance 👍 Soin

If you have MOST it's supposedly a piece of cake. Yes the fiber optic bypass replaces the CD changer. Don't worry about the amp. I think the brown wire is for cars with the older DSP sound system which you don't have. Just plug it all in. There are several threads on this forum that describe the install in a MOST car.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
