Is there a way to feed reverse/backup rear view camera signal to display on the PCM screen ? I have a 2001 996 C4 so may have the old PCM-1 ?

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.

Hi RKH, I used this company to install bluetooth to my PCM1, it works very well and easy diy. It looks like they have a camera option for pcm 1 https://www.elektronikidee.com/index...&id=80&lang=en

By design, the PCM 1.0 did support backup sensors, but didn't support a video display (with distance graphics) like modern backup camera systems as an option. However, anything is possible because the unit is essentially a video display, but it would take some major work studying the schematics to design a workable mod. There are some mods floating around, but I wouldn't advise it without knowing the risks involved. Personally, if you really want backup camera technology, you should upgrade your HU, to a double DIN unit that support GPS navigation and backup cameras. It's a major install, but many people have done it successfully. You're looking at a lot of money too for the convenience.

Thank you all for the reply. So looks like the PCM-1 does not have any video-in port for simple plug in of camera. I may just install a separate system with camera, wireless transmitter+receive and a small LCD monitor for ~$40.

This is a interesting idea... backup camera on a rearview mirror for the 996. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-in...308.4.7.EkkrNx http://www.crutchfield.com/g_436850/....html?tp=66450
