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.

I have a 2006 Carrera2S with the Bose sound system upgrade. I'm trying to remove the head unit to have it repaired. The unit skips channels and sometimes I don't get any audio when the unit is on. Anyway. I looked at several videos on removing the unit. I get to the point of rotating all 4 of the 5mm allen head cam bolts, but the unit feels like it's bolted in...I saw in some of the videos that there is a 7mm bolt to remove on the passenger side, but I don't see that on my unit. I don't want to force anything, does anyone have suggestions? Thanks so much!
I don't recall any other fasteners holding the unit in the dash on my 06 when I owned one. Other than the Torx fasteners to remove the carpet trim pieces and the side covers the cam fasteners are it. My 997.2 has the same 4 cam fasteners as the 997.1. The top cams are a pain to get to!
Hey Mark, thanks so much for your response, Those 5mm allen head cams are hard to get to....maybe I just need to keep trying. I thought I had rotated them proplerly, but I will keep trying. Thanks again
Finally got the head unit out! One of the rotating cams was broken and the locking tab was missing. I was able to depress the other 3 locking tabs and get the unit out. Mark, thanks again for your comment! Drive safe!
I've removed/replaced the head unit a few times while installing the Mr12Volt Carplay accessory. Every time those cams gave me fits. I've striped 1 of the 4 so only 3 are now installed. I don't think there is any risk in the unit flying out either way.
