Thank you for the reply gelb996, i had a look at the Metra website and it does say to use the 99-9605B for a 2003 model, i have however sent them an email to confirm.

You can really install a dual-din in the 996 with simple ease using the MOST-converter box ($80).

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.

Continuing on my quest to sort out Archie, the 996, to make it the best daily driver I can, I am adding a new double din head unit with Apple Carplay and a back up camera.
Hi Jeff
Great video. I'm looking to ungrade the same on my 996.
I think that the amp in my car has also had it as sound only comes from the speakers on the right hand side.
Could you tell me which site on Amazon did you find the surrounds?
Thanks
John
John, look the following sites, punch in the car model and all will be revealed. You might also require an antenna adaptor and Porsche/European wiring adaptor. Good car audio outlets usually have both adaptors in stock and will order the facia & din housing.
Aerpro Australia or Stinger Australia...
I followed a similar route to that of Jeff's.. If you can get delivery at the moment, here's your start point.

I found Aerpro to be quite expensive on a different install (a Golf) and the fit and finish not as good as the Amazon product that I received.
Did you end up purchasing the surrounds & wiring adapters by any chance? If so do you mind sharing where from and if you were happy with the quality please. I'm looking to do an install on my newly acquired 996 Cab shortly.
Thank you for the video
@MFX
, you have a new subscriber.
Both the antenna and the actual plug in wiring loom.

You just need the universal male ISO harness which was on the shelf in my local Supercheap.

Hi Prodigy,
My whole radio and amp has been playing up so i've decided to replace the whole system including speakers.
I've been gathering all the bits I need with the intention of installing in a few months time, When I get a break from work.
Autobarn were having a 30% sale a couple of months back so i bought the following unit.
Alpine iLX - W650E head unit
Alpine KTA -450 Amp, this unit bolts directly on to the back of the head unit. Thereby no need for a separate amp.
Alpine S-S40 speakers. The existing speaker mounts need to be modified and there are a number of youtube videos showing how to cut down the existing housing to fit the new speakers.
After watching numerous you tube videos there are a number of modifications that need to be undertaken to fit the Alpine unit.
The Alpine head unit requires a connection to the brake line to operate all the functions on the head unit, to overcome this the solution is to purchase a microbypass. I bought this on Amazon.
An antennae connector plug is required to connect the old plug to any new radio, I purchased this on ebay.
For the installation in the dash I purchased a METRA 99-9605B installation kit on Amazon. This kit seem to be good quality.
Hope that this helps
I just watched a video that indicates the METRA 99-9605B Kit does not work properly with 996's that have the cup holders above the stereo, can anyone confirm this by any chance please?
@gelb996
do you have the upper cup holders in yours?
Thank you for the reply gelb996, i had a look at the Metra website and it does say to use the 99-9605B for a 2003 model, i have however sent them an email to confirm.
I used the Metra harness and the surrounds in my 996 and works and looks perfect. Only thing that is lame, is the storage cubby replacement - OEM is much better.
You can really install a dual-din in the 996 with simple ease using the MOST-converter box ($80). Took about 45 mins to install once we figured it out.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
