Love the box it comes in first of all. "Highway to Yell" is great. It looks way better than my old pioneer. Its a genuine Porsche part that will without a doubt make a you a happy customer. Every 996 owner should do this upgrade.

Purchased this PCCM + when it became available in the USA and have been waiting over a month to get it installed. The installation was done by a local car audio installer who previously did work for me on my other Porsches. So they were accustomed to working on the 996. Installation took approximately 3 hours . Most of the labor time was trying to get the volume on the radio to work properly. I was previously running a PCM 1 with NAV on this car. The issue that the installer was experiencing was how loud the sound from various sources got +3 was like being at +30. Ultimately they had to install an inline resistor to take care of speaker loudness. I am now wondering if the individual input volume setting on the headunit's volume setting would have accomplished the same thing. For those getting this installed, you may want to check this option out before spending more money on a PAC Nissan Bose Adaptor. As to the radio itself, navigation of the various sources is straightforward. Calls placed from phone appeared to be working well at both ends. I was able to hear the caller, they as well. Setting up custom equalizer is easy. As to builtin navigation, I opted to not buy the SD card, but will do so as a redundant backup to CarPlay navigation in the event that cellular service is unavailable. Given the limited options for upgrading the PCM 1 system and integrating with vehicle, this is a good option. I will update this review when I have a chance to truly checkout this unit on a road trip.

There is NO installation manuell.... but the installation was done after 3 hours. Easy to install, had to modify the Brezel in my 99 996. all factory connector fit. The CD charger needs to be disconnected and the Sirius XM to plugged in. If you move your Climate control and you have a CD or Cassette shelf, you need to buy the upper shelf separately (9965522530101C ). The functionality is perfect, a lot of power. Apple Car play works as supposed to be. Do yourself a favor and add the GPS maps. Perfect if you drive in an area with weak cell phone reception. The only minus I figured out is the display of your MP3's on the SD card ( included). Titles are not displayed by folder.... all mixed up. But this is not a show stopper. I would buy the unit again and I can highly recommend it. - btw, you also increase the value of your car....
Looks great but haven’t installed it yet.

I’ve opened the box to look at it but I’m traveling right now and haven’t been home yet. I’m looking forward to installing it. I’m so excited to have this new unit. My Porsche is a 2000 convertible and it’s in mint condition with only 38k miles on it. I literally don’t have one scratch on it. Maybe in a couple more decades it will be even more valuable. I hope. But this will look great. I will post pics when I get it installed. And I will let people know how it performs. But it sure is very very nice looking.
