Porsche Classic Radio (955) SKU: SKU955PCCM

For my 2005 Cayenne Turbo this Porsche Classic radio does not live up to the OEM quality or standards of Porsche. It does achieve smartphone integration and looks like factory equipment. In short you will lose AM, FM, CD changer and XM Satellite radio and the GPS comes without maps, so you need to purchase separately (I did) otherwise driver center display compass will not work without purchasing the microSD GPS maps. Yes it works to allow smartphone use (talk, music, streaming, smartphone navigation) but it is not very good compared to other factory stereo/phone/bluetooth/carplay/nav systems. We have a 958 Cayenne Turbo, 2015 RX350, and a late model Mazda Miata, all are superior in functionality of all aspects regarding these functions. Install instructions are not included and Porsche has not been helpful with any issues. If you have some experience and are mechanically inclined, the install is not difficult. I installed myself by following a frequently referenced youtube video for this specific 955 generation Cayenne and pccm+ unit. AM and FM radio reception is very poor to none, to the point that AM is useless and FM works sometimes. Satellite XM radio requires a new antenna and module (purchase separately) that should be installed at the same time to save yourself some headaches. The microphone clarity is poor (according to those I'm talking with). On at least 4 occasions the unit has turned off, blanked out and restarted without reason. Finally after about 6 months of compromises, yesterday I spent less than 1 hour re-installing the OEM Porsche PCM and I'm so much happier. I'd rather use my iphone with earbuds for talk and NAV than give up a solid quality OEM Porsche radio with AM/FM, XM and CD Changer. My expectations were high as this is a Porsche product and is not inexpensive. Others have found this system to be good, I have not. I wish that I could return it, it is not worth the cost and trouble.

I really like it. It was a little challenging to get it installed. 2 reputable installation places refused to do it because of the difficulty. I used to do installs myself but was feeling lazy. I ended up doing it myself. Not bad except for the same common problem people were having. I was able to find someone with a solution. If you can get the speakers to work and can’t go into settings because it keeps saying the car is in motion but you are sitting still, there is a wire I. You harness at the factory amp that has to be grounded. That will be the answer to all your prayers. The rest is very easy for the diy. The only other issue is you can’t really hear or talk that good into the phone call part of it through Bluetooth. And the gps takes a little long to get an address entered into it. Other than that it is great. Easy to program attractive and just really nice touchscreen. You should know they advertise with CarPlay on because it’s so colorful. But regular use is full black and white. I was sad to see it wasn’t still colorful when not using CarPlay. But you should buy it. The start up shows a big Porsche emblem on the whole face of the screen at kind of the angle. You will love it. Show it off to your friends. I upgraded the speakers to jl audio and a new jl 5 channel 700 watt amp. Then a kicker amp for 2 custom boxed 15’s in the backseat. Jls as well. This is a must buy radio like I said. You will love it.
