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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I installed the PCCM+ myself in my 2001 Turbo. The car already had a different aftermarket radio in it but the trim surrounding the radio needed a bit of modifying so the PCCM+ could slide in properly. Had a few issues here and there but everything is working well now. My last real issue is there isn't anything holding it in the car. So on acceleration it pretty much just falls out of its slot into the gear shifter. Looking at guides for 2002+ cars it seems like there is a retaining bracket that helps hold it in but I don't see any such bracket for the 2001 and earlier cars. Even the official instructions only mention a new front support frame but it doesn't appear to have any hardware that would actually hold the radio into the car. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...79274-0001.pdf 996.552.131.05.A03 This place also sells a 2 DIN conversion kit but it just has the support frame and looking at that picture again not seeing anything that would hold the radio in. https://shop.4porsche.com/collection...-for-pccm-plus Has anyone done this install on a 2001 or older car and how did you get the dang thing to actually stay in? Very much appreciate any help!

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I realized I did not follow step 5.3 in the instructions which is why I have this issue. Now I just need to figure out how to modify my current front support frame so it fits properly.

There is a whole thread here that will answer your questions. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...pccm-plus.html

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Unfortunately that's a 2002 so it has different brackets and frames where the PCCM+ goes
