PCCM plus

Hi guys Just watched a review on utube about the PCCM plus a Porsche replacement for the old pcm system on the 996, seems expensive at £2200 anybody else seen this I'm sure there is an independent equivalent at a lower price. Steve

There have been a few threads.

Been done on here a few times mate. Imo waaaay overpriced and looks awful.

http://911uk.com/viewtopic.php?t=138908 I've fitted 2 to 997 turbos with bose .. both have not worked properly .. white noise , over amplified and expensive .. Non bose and it works fine. See the link for more info on these .

Thought they were 996 and earlier only? :?

My bad .. even i can make a typo now and then 996 Turbo !

:floor: Cool. Was kinda hoping I was wrong - after all it's just a double-DIN - but no! NM it is

Discovered it by accident thought I found something new lol Doesn't seem to get two many decent reviews will have to look for something else.

I'm sure one of the OPCs was doing them for £1200-1300 but not sure if that was plus vat or if it included maps Problem is if the cost is c£2000 then that is 10% of the value of the average 996. I would love one but can't justify that kind of money on a stereo

I paid £1350 for mine the week they came out, so unless there has been some kind of price hike, no clue where the £2k price came from. Also get on the Porsche classic car register for owning a 996, completely free and they will knock another 10% of that price, wish I knew before I got mine. Value to me seems great, it's everything you would expect in a brand new car, android auto, carplay, tomtom map, DAB, bluetooth phone integration and voice assistant and if you have a 996.2 your audio info and map directions will appear on your gauge cluster, with the best feature being it looks factory, no ugly surrounds of off colour key backlighting or interface. When you also consider Kenwood charge over £1100 for their latest aftermarket radio designed specifically to fit in VW's from around 10 years ago paying around £1200 once you apply the discount for an OEM Porsche radio for what to may is now considered a classic isn't bad at all in my book. You could save a few hundred on an aftermarket double Din with adapter face surround, new DAB antenna (plus optical adapters if you have a facelift car) but then you have spent probably 80% of the price for a system with no integration with the car, a rat nest of aftermarket wiring, hurts resale value and to be frank looks cheap and tacky. Just my honest opinion based on having had a 986 and a 996 and between them have fitted and tried out a CDR22, CDR23, PCM1, PCM2 and a kenwood aftermarket double DIN before getting my PCCM and my honest opinion is it's expensive but there simply isn't a better option, buy it and you have the ultimate stereo for you car, check out the other threads if you want to see what others are saying but can't see a bad word about it by anyone with one.

Thanks for clarifying Which OPC was that? And where do you join the classic register? Is there a link? Thanks Winny

Found the Porsche classic link looks like it is actually 15% discount https://www.porsche.com/uk/accessor...rt8uJyNDaNArcJQccIcaAjllEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

I picked mine up from Reading OPC. It's 15% off parts and labour when the part is fitted by the OPC which if you prefer the radio fitted by them is pretty competitive pricing compared to buying and getting somewhere decent to fit it. But as a DIY'er they give me 10% off parts without fitting, the same as you get with a PCGB membership without the membership fee.

Thanks :thumbs:

That's a lot cheaper than what was said on the video will have to get on the register first
