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.

Nope. Won't fit. A few months back I bought a complete kit off ebay and to my surprise, it wouldn't fit. The first clue was the shape of the trim surround. In the 996 the stereo trim is up/down and basically square. The 997 surround is trapezoidal. The next issue that would follow would be a software and communication with the OBC. This end of it is what was giving me trouble as there was no way to verify that the two pieces of equipment could or would actually communicate with each other. I eventually sold the kit to another user that has a newer model Cayman. It fit right in but he still needed to order and have loaded in the newer or latest version of software for the NAV to work. This was after the dealer activated the system for his OBC to 'see' the new addition.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
