Hands Down the best video on this as far as i'm concerned Thank you. I'm upgrading a Cayman with Bose and CDR-24 and its been invaluable. Couple of queries though, connecting to the MOST adaptor. Front or rear speakers? Anyone care to comment on the ariel booster wiring, wire colours? Otherwise, for anyone attempting this, know that you need to be very careful that the facia adaptor fits the head unit you're using and colour of interior. I ended up 3d printing one on the new car. Last time it slotted straight in without problem Finally behind the battery is a *big rubber grommet* this allows you to fit DAB and GPS antenna behind the scuttle -- completely out of sight in the 'frunk'

Connecting through the most sent the signal to the Bose amp which sent it both front and rear speakers.

Where have you been hiding, Ron? Used to see you at lots of meets, especially the R20 ones and the 911uk at the fairmile. Hope the car (and you) are running well? It always looks really good with the mods you’ve done.

Great video. Wish this was around when I did my kenwood install in my 997 a few years ago! One thing I realised, was my FM signal was very poor. After research, realised the cars antenna booster requires a switched 12v power which the original PCM supplied, but which was missing in the Connects2 wiring, so the antenna booster was no longer getting any power. Once I looped a switched 12v back into the loom for the antenna booster, signal improved again. Not sure if you may need to do the same if also getting weak FM signal, as Connects2 have missed out this wire in their adapter

yea, I think you are correct, its a pain to figure these things out if you don't know what you are doing!!

Where did you get the MOST adapter from?

What is the best unit and components to buy to upgrade the system on 2009 911 c4s ?

Seems like Porsche has now released PCCM + for the 997.

What a brilliant video. It’s the best one I’ve seen so far on KZfaq as you’ve take the time and effort to go through the connect2 wiring loom. Would you mind if I asked how you put the usb lead into the glove box? That’s what I need to do so I can mirror my iPhone rather than using Bluetooth for music and while I’m being a real pain how did you route the DAB aerial? Cheers. 👍

@philscars 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the comment! It was a while age now, but if I remember correctly, when you have all the radio out, you can push a wire through into the glovebox area from in there, I also pushed the DAB aerial through the same way and then over to the A pillar and then up the windscreen, hope that helps.

@@philscars thank you so much. That info will be a great help. Much appreciated, Sir.

hi, friend, Were you able to keep the steering wheel controls for the new radio? What are the cables? I can't save the steering wheel buttons to control the new pioneer radio.

@philscars 4 ай бұрын

As far as I remember, my radio came with a cambia unit which meant you kept the steering wheel controls! It was many years back now!

Great vid, unfortunately (for me) you have missed out the bits I'm unclear on, i.e. the DAB aerial fitting, and any wiring additions needed (eg the aerial booster power). I fitted a MR12Volt Bluetooth but only because someone had done a guide which said exactly which wires needed tapping etc!!

@philscars 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, the DAB aerial is just a stick-on the screen aerial that I bought from ebay that plugs directly into the back of the Kenwood unit, but, tbh, its rubbish and doesn't work very well, so a better aerial would be needed. if you trace the Porsche aerial wire, it goes to an aerial booster under the dashboard in the drivers side, you will probably need to use the switchable 12v power from the back of the new unit to power up the aerial booster, as it was powered from the PCM unit previously. Hope that helps.

Thank you. The question I have is, when you change out the factory head unit don't you loose all the service controls and settings capability? What about all the controls though the steering column stalks? Thank you for sharing some of your insight.

@philscars Жыл бұрын

Yea, you do lose all that but gain a proper entertainment and nav system!

I came out the side and tucked the wire into the bottom of the windscreen!

Cheers. Thanks for that. I ended up going through the center speaker on and coming down that way.
