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

I'm looking to replace the original radio in my 996 Gen 1 with Pioneer SPH-20DAB. what are the potential pitfalls? and will it work? are there porsche 'quirks' ?

POST 2Original post

Depends what your original system is. Is it just the head unit or do you have the upgraded system with the separate amplifier?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

it's the original ( as god intended) javascript:emoticon(' ')

POST 4Original post

There were various 'original' options on the stereo. The basic option which is just the head unit, or the upgraded original option which is the Bose system and has a separate power amplifier in the boot.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

just the head unit. there are no bells or whistles.

POST 6Original post

Then it should be a straight swap so long as you have the correct adaptor cable. May also need a cage for the new head unit, depending how it fits in the car.
