I skipped over two videos(I think) because I had no idea who it was!

Thanks for the info. How did you know the mic isn’t needed? I don’t mind the knobs but I can see why others would want to change them. I’m happy with the unit plus I now have NAV when I didn’t used to. Cheers 👍

Are you sure it's using the Porsche mikes on the steering column not the one built into the unit?

​@@alsatch_I like the knobs more in keeping with original unit

@@alsatch_ I installed this unit mainly for Apple Car Play and navigation as well. I didn't install the microphone and after sinking my iPhone I was able to make and receive calls, ask Siri to play Spotify, etc... Maybe It's using the microphone from the iPhone?... not sure but it works good. For the price, this is a great alternative.

Hello mate. Yes the parking sensors still work, and it actually gives on screen images and visuals when the car is reversing, like an ultrasonic display pops up and shows you getting closer to an object. It also brings up visuals if any doors are open.

@@alsatch_ so goood!! Thank you so much, can’t wait to get it now.

It was originally Driver 81 for years. I’ve just put it back to that so I’ve come full circle. Thanks 👍

Yeah! 😮

Yeah was doing my head in. All sorted though managed to find the beep setting.

Nice. It’s much better isn’t it. 👍

Any idea if you can retro fit a PCM 4.0 to a 991.1?

It works just fine on my unit where i have placed it. Maybe they have better antennas now i don't know, but it works absolutely fine. Thanks.

Eventually yes I’ll do a video when I do it. Thanks 👍

​@@alsatch_My 2014 981 had the CDR31 unit when I bought the car this summer. It has a rear camera and I suspect the previous owner had installed a similar unit to the one you have installed to replace your CDR3. There is a stray microphone hanging down under the steering wheel, my FM/AM radio and SAT radio produce only static and a means says "check antenna". I think the original mic on the steering column is still working w my Android phone to receive/send calls. Dealer is checking it currently to try and get the radio connections working. Now I wonder if I we'll get more options if I switch to this unit (still need the antennas to be working). My unit's touchscreen (as described in original window sticker) isn't working. Is that usual?

Hi, I don’t have the Bose system, but this kit does work with Bose, but you need to buy an additional bit which is done when making payment, the seller also asked me if I had Bose to double check before sending it out, that way I will work straight from opening the box. Cheers 👍

@@alsatch_ Thank you, and thank you for the awesome channel!

Hi. Yea there is a version for the Macan also, and the installation process will be the same. Works great 👍 thanks

Have a quick look through these comments as a few others have asked and there is an answer. Thank you 👍

So for the multi function display, it will show you the frequency (for example 98.1 FM) but it does not show which station it is (ex Radio 2) If you are listening to carplay, it will show you the band and the name of the song. So it all links up pretty well.

@@alsatch_ does the PCM 3.1 have any car settings on it like an MMI has in an Audi, if so do you lose them? I’m in the process of looking for a 991.1 at the moment, coming from a C7 RS6, but I spent my younger years in the car hifi industry, so want to fit a good basis for a proper audio upgrade, this looks like it might do the job.

@@simonelliott5956setting are done via the instrument Cluster multi function display, not in the PCM (MMI equivalent) so you won’t lose any settings. 👍

It doesn’t have dab but you can add it I believe. Would probably be worth doing that actually I’ll look into it.

Hi, yes there is an option to get rid of the beeps it shows you how to do it further into the video 👍

To be honest i haven't see this for the 996, i have only seen it for 2012 cars onwards, so i don't think they do it for that car yet. There is the option to buy from the Porsche dealer, but the cost is sky high like £1500 or something.

I didn’t have Bose. But you can buy an add on that connects with the Bose system. If you buy off the people on the link, they will ask you if you have Bose and will show you exactly what you need. I think it’s like £50 more expensive if you have the Bose.

So if you have the radio on. It will display the frequency for example 98.1 If you have a song playing through carplay It displays the band and the song title. So it all works pretty well together. 👍

Yes it does I use Apple Maps

I assume that the nav from carplay won't appear in the screen?

@@andysmith792no it won’t show their either.

They do a version for the Macan aswell yes

The unit does work with Bose yes, but you do need a different adaptor which you need to tell them about when ordering, it might cost like £50 more but it can definitely be done.

Yes iPhone works perfectly with carplay. I use my iPhone

Haha. I have a very varied music taste, vivaldi is even in there somewhere LOL. Thanks, its a good unit.

Unfortunately not sorry. They only do a kit for 2012 models onwards. For your model Porsche do a very good unit but it’s expensive I’m afraid.

replaced mine with it great for the money looks good in the dash

so you had CDR-31 in your car and you replaced it and it works?@@foxspeed197
