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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not the best picture, from my phone but you get the idea. New Pioneer AVIC 850BT http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...on/AVIC-X850BT They are selling for around $550 online shipped now so not a bad deal. Dash kid and IPhone adapters are what get you with the install. Navigation works great, install looks OEM and I put a nice PORSCHE start up screen on it. Next step is Valentine One hardwire and getting a backup camera installed. Only thing I wish about this stereo is that it had a remote. The more I play with it the easier it gets though. Install took about 3 hours but they did a good job on it. Right now, my interior is done....not much to do with it besides what Porsche did from the factory.

POST 2Original post

Looks familiar... I just did this same install a couple months ago. I like the system, BUT... the designers seem to be totally unaware that it is intended to be used in a moving vehicle. The buttons are too small, the menus a PITA, and to make a call you have to wade through about 5 layers of submenus including "confirms." I realized after the install that the calling is not voice activated. Although using a cell phone is illegal, it is 1,000 times safer than trying to make a call while driving than using this system. Works very well when parked, however. At least now I can watch a DVD movie while I am driving. (P.S. Is that a gun in your passenger compartment?)

POST 3Original post

Nice! It makes the 996 interior feel much more modern, doesn't it?

POST 4Original post

Are any of you using all of the Bose stuff that came in the car (amp/speakers, etc)? I am trying to find some way I can just switch out the head unit, and still use all the stock equipment, I dont want to change anything else if I dont have to. I know there are several threads on this, but none come out and say exactly what they have used to do this or if its even an option.

LOL, mine is installed so using the phone menu and nav unit is not an issue while driving. They also wired it so I could watch a DVD while the car is in motion only if I ground the wire they left for me. Also, that is a BMW umbrella I had from the last car that I installed on the right side. Nice umbrella so I did not want to throw it away. As far as guns.....I do carry one all the time, but concealed. Since you brought up guns....here is a pic of case number one:

POST 7Original post

Ah, OK, an umbrella! It only rains about 5 to 10 days a year here, so the concept of an umbrella is not foremost in my thoughts. I don't own one, nor do I own any articles of clothing heavier than a sweatshirt. Quite the hardware collection in that case!!

Quotes source post: 10710324

Understood on the CA thing....I was born in Orange County and grew up in Cali till I did 20 years of military service. Now...living in Colorado. My family still lives in California, but I am pretty much done with it. Also, out here with the weather, not bad to have 2 umbrellas in the car. Second one is in the passenger floorboard gap, not OEM Porsche one but a small Totes one that fits perfect.
