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.

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

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Hall all, my new to me 2011 came with an aftermarket clarion unit already installed, but it is very dated. Want something with Apple car play . I can’t get the damn thing out. The cam bolts that you turn 90deg on the factory unit aren’t there. The hidden locking screw isn’t either. Trim is all removed. I can’t find a way to get it to release. I have pryed and pulled. Used a flat metal bar (old school head remover tool from an ancient pioneer deck I had kicking around) used interior trim removal tools. Pushed everywhere I can to try find a release spring. Nothing. I am at a loss. Anyone have something I can try?? (Where the cam bolt should be, but isn’t. Just an empty hole) Help! Thanks!

POST 2Original post

I don't know how to remove it, but I believe Clarions are what Porsche installed in cars shipped to Japan So it might not be aftermarket.

POST 3Original post

After much banging of head against wall… I got it out. There are four release clips. Near impossible to see.

POST 4Original post

After getting it out and finding the part number, you are correct. Looks like a factory part. This just got way way harder……

POST 5Original post

I out the Erisin unit in my 981 and really happy with that. Lots of work though. Good luck

POST 6Original post

Had a similar issue updating a head unit and the release clips are hidden right behind the bezel mounts. I used a 1" putty knife and finally found them to get it loose.

POST 7Original post

AFAIK - Erisin doesn't make a unit to fit the 987 series cars. There are other Chinese aftermarket ones that a pretty much plug and play. A search of the website (hint - start in the 987 electronics subforum) should turn up lots of into (which I'll be adding to shortly.)

If Crutchfield Audio is available for online sales where you live, I would give their website a visit. I replaced my original outdated head unit for a touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay unit with remote microphone for hands-free calls and backup camera. They can also provide installation specific harness adapters to make installation easy. Have used Crutchfield for years on several vehicles and have been very happy. Can even speak to a live tech support person with questions about installation or setup.
