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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Evening all Could anyone kindly advise if the 986 and 996 share dashboard components? Specifically, I'm going to move towards a single Din stereo with the lower dash delete (eventually) - I've seen a spare centre console which has the centre horizontal rail to support a single din head unit (as well as a top cup holder) for sale. The part number is 99655218400. Did a quick Google but couldn't find anything definitive on compatibility. I would assume as the part number starts with "996.." it should be swappable? Any guidance gratefully received. Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Yes many parts are compatible. Most parts which are on there start 996. Although some which are shared do start 986. MC

POST 3Original post

The central cage with the cup holders is from a gen 2 996 and I'm not 100% sure that's compatible with the gen 1 dash or the 986.

POST 4Original post

Yeah that will all work. Sometimes the design is slightly different if you look closely. As in the horseshoe can come in one piece rather than the top and sides. But makes no odds. Do be aware that while the 996 had mostly the black rubberised finish, many 986 models had the sort of dark grey finish. But being very picky here. But thought it worth mentioning.

POST 5Original post

Good point there. If you are getting something like that make sure it is complete, ie the fascia, air vent and the cage behind. Then you are ok.

POST 6Original post

Yeah - I think you may have to fit the vents from a gen 2 for it to fit.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Amazing! Thanks all, really appreciated. I hadn't noticed the nuance of the slightly different shapes to the vents - would have ended up with half a centre console as they're only selling the 'inside bit' and I've got a 996.1
