I will still probably use my phone for navigation as it talks all the directions out.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

9 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

Hey guys, Wondering if this is possible (pcm1)? is the wiring already in place or will I have to modify/cut things? Thanks! Paul

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

here is some more information on the set up: I really am looking to upgrading to something stock and clean looking. I fully understand that this navi will be behind in it's routes and streets, but to be honest, want to do this more for the factory look of the dash. I will still probably use my phone for navigation as it talks all the directions out. So main thing, is hooking it up.. Here are actually this items I am talking about. I figure they may end up as a really good deal as there doesn't seem to be much demand for these units, and shouldn't be many bids (unless, I am probably now creating more competition for myself! lol) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-996-...item27c5856eac http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-996-...8591c0&vxp=mtr http://www.ebay.com/itm/Porsche-PCM-...85a0c7&vxp=mtr Thanks for feedback!! -Paul

POST 3Original post

Obsolete System, you might as well for a Windows 95 Desktop in your car.

POST 4Original post

Quotes source post: 9412026

Realistically more like Windows 3.1

POST 5Original post

I'd recommend a Kenwood . Blue tooth, Nav, Touch screen and you probably don't even need to add an amp. Here is my install. Totally updates the interior and still looks stock if your used to seeing 997's, 991 with Nav

POST 6Original post

+1 for an aftermarket system. I also like Kenwood head units.

POST 7Original post

Quotes source post: 9412051

Very nice upgrade, was it alot of cable-work? Just purchased my new headunit today, will start with the install tomorrow!

POST 8Original post

Quotes source post: 9412958

I have an analog system and didn't do the install myself. As far as I know if there wasn't any cabling. Took them about an hour and half but I also had them ripping out a radar and tracking system from the car.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

That looks great! And I know I can get an aftermarket unit (and have had aftermarket units) I'm just that factory guy, you know love the factory screen look. I suppose I'll rething my options... none-the-less, seems like a good deal for someone on here if not me.. -Paul
