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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know of an XM or Sirrius radio that fits into a regular DIN space? I have way to much stuff sunction cupped on already.

POST 2Original post

Do you want to replace the factory head unit? or just want something that will mount nice in one of the storage bins?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just an add on. Does Porsche make a factory one

POST 4Original post

I think that most of the Alpine products are satellite ready.

POST 5Original post

I am taking on this project within the next couple of weeks. I cannot take my old CDs and local radio anymore!! I am going to do a DIY posted here: https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...98#post5455798

POST 6Original post

For XM the Terk Commander MT is a nice fit in the lower dash. I was using one of those until I installed double din NAV.

Check out the Alpine 9820XM with the built in XM tuner in a single DIN form factor. I used this head unit in my 993 for exactly the same reason - no need to tear up the interior for an extra black box

I have thet unit in my 86 911, I dont know if they sell it anymore.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Will that Alpine unit work with the factory Bose unit? I would really like to do that, but was under the impression, from circuit city, that an after market unit wouldn't work. They said I would have to do FM modulation. 911TTcab's idea looks do able, but I've never seen a blank DIN plate to mount the small XM radio in. Were you plaiing to gut the CD holder? BTW, it just snaps in place like all the rest of the upper console parts. Easiest interior I've ever seen to work on. Mounting the antenna could be a challenge though.

POST 10Original post

The new Alpines can handle either satellite provider.

First off, Please DO NOT let Circuit city work on your car! Find an installer that knows the car. That said, I have a Pioneer installed in my 02 and it's works fine and sounds great with the factory Bose amp/Speakers . I think there is only an issue on the 03+ cars with the MOST bus.

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 5457893

I'm sure you're right about circuit city. I need to find a quality shop to do this kind of work. I could do it myself if I had the energy, but it would take me 2 or 3 days off and on. The older I get the slower I work. Not sure why that is, nothing is wrong with me, I just don't have a lot of stamina when rolling around on the garage floor or under the dash. Once I retire, planned for October, I will probably feel more like doing these kinds of things. Since I made the decision to retire, I am pretty worthless at work too, just biding time. I would leave now, but staying until October will give me a bonus for 2008 payable next March. It could be substantial depending on several factors.

POST 13Original post

I really want to get xm however, I do not want the antenna on the outside of the car like all of the aftermarket switches I see. Is it possible to locate that antenna on the inside of the car?

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 5458483

absolutely, my antenna is located on the dash inside of the vehicle and I have a good friend whom has it mounted on the rear seat back.

POST 15Original post

Quotes source post: 5458483

Mine is located UNDER the plastic trim beneath the wipers.

POST 16Original post

Did you lose any sound quality?

POST 17Original post

Quotes source post: 5458515

No issues at all, had it in the same place on my Boxster as well.

POST 19 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Is there an existing hole to get the antenna wire to the wiper trim

POST 20Original post

Marc, how did you get it under the plastic trim?

POST 21Original post

Here's my setup, Terk Commander MT mounted in the CD holder. Antenna is on the dash in the corner, no reception issues. I really like it.

POST 22Original post

Nice setup David. It looks like it came with the car.

POST 23Original post

Quotes source post: 5459069

Found a factory hole on drivers side.

POST 24Original post

Did you have to pull out any of the trim to get the antenna up there?

POST 25Original post

Quotes source post: 5459989

Just the platic trim that I placed it under, It's really, really easy!
