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.

I want to delete the center console on my 996. Unfortunately, one of the cubbies is currently occupied by the signal processing unit for the stereo. Can this unit just be unplugged without affecting performance of the head unit? Here's the item I'm referring to:
Unplug it and find out.

I have aftermarket android stereo and when you unplug it the stereo stops working, I guess it turns on the amp. So you would have to rewire the amp and the speakers. I just turn my on and hid it under the console. The space right by the floor between the driver and passanger footwell. There is room there for that. I think its always on. But everything works perfect.
I did exactly as wucash did. My aftermarket head unit would not work without it plugged in. I was too lazy to rewire it.
Thanks, wucash and gator...that was my backup plan if it needs to stay. Sounds like it does, so it'll join all of the other wire I have stashed up behind the dash or, as wucash suggested, above the foam separator on the pass-side footwell.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
