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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I want to swap out the single din bekker CD head for something a bit more modern. My 2003 996 C4S has the Bose Amp and optical connections into the back of the head unit. I would like a simple solution, if anyone has one, to replacing the radio/cd. I know i need a MOST to RGA interface box, like a Dynavin, but i dont know if i need a head unit specific wiring harness, or anything else? I dont think i've changed a car radio since my Capri back in the 80's. I'm going to swap to another single din for ease of install. Has anyone done this themselves? Any recommendations and information greatfully received.
