Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

In my case I tell the mechanics how to turn it off for when they do test drives, as the system switches on by default.

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

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

POST 1Original post

I put a CD changer in the fron of my old 993TT. IT wasn't easy but I managed to find a place. Its not easy to describe but I'll give it a go from memory. I'm not sure whether the 996 will be the same but anyhow... If you've got the bonnet open, look to the left hand side up where the bonnet joins the main body work. Right in the corner there (on the 993) there is a heater/sir con pipe which goes inside the car, this is surrounded by a 1-2 cm grommet which is made of hard plastic. Going into the car (this is a LHD car so everything may be oppersite on the RHD) on the passenger side you have to take out the glove box and there are about 3 pannels which you unscrew and take off. You then get to the other side of the grommet. I drilled a 1 cm hole through this plastic. The thing is there is always a way through you just have to take things apart a bit to find it. Look where you CD changer goes through etc.

POST 2Original post

I had some equipment fitted to my 996 and I was told by the fitter that there were gromits they managed to feed the cable through. So it is possible with no metal cutting. Suggest you speak to a mechanic from your OPC to find the route. If you're concerned about telling them what you're fitting, tell them it's a garage door infra red system. In my case I tell the mechanics how to turn it off for when they do test drives, as the system switches on by default. DAZ >> Edited by Dazren on Thursday 25th July 09:40

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have rigged my lazer defusor up in a subaru and BMW as there were lots of nice holes into the cabin from the engine bay. But How is the best way of rigging up the wires from the front number plate area to inside the car without messing the car up too much on my 996 Its too well made with no clear holes to poke wires through. Anyone got experience with this pls. Thanks
