Anyone got one of these in a 964?

How well does it work and does it integrate well with the look of the dashboard?

Is the nav by graphics as well as text/audio?

 

There is a pretty long thread on the 993 forum about installing that radio.

IIRC the problem with using it in a 964 is that there is no speed sensor data line, so the "directions" function of the GPS doesn't work.

 

Got a becker build in mine 964, and the speed sensor you can tap of the decklid switch in console. it looks fab.

 

Got a pic, Sire?

Why do you need a speed sensor - doesn't the GPS antenna take care of that?

 

I've got one too. The post in the 993 board has a ton of detail.

Sound quality is very good, but not as good as some modern readios. It does look great in the dash - even illuminates with the PORSCHE logo.

Nav portion actually works amazingly well given the single-DIN size - and provides some graphic as well as voice (I use the British female..!) directions. The big problem is the NAV discs are old - circa late 90s - and updates are NOT avail.

 

I am in the middle of installing one in my car. Of course I broke the coax lead at the radio but I am sure that once I get it in, it will be great. Here https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...highlight=FIND is the original thread. Plenty of info there.

 

Hi Taken by the phone,



Mine excuse for that part

 

The GPS is for searching the satellites, and the speed sensor for the direct and good directions go right after 50 mtr, is really 50 mtr.

 

Wow, that looks really blends and looks right at home in the 964 dash...I think I'd like one!

 

It DOES look good, I agree.

It seems, at least for us in the UK, the nav is up to date too.

Sire, surely the decklid lead in the console only has an on/off signal around 80kmh doesn't it - does it actually have a proper speed signal?

 

The PO put a Becker Nav unit in my car but I don't know what model it is. All the books are in the car (which is with my mechanic) but I seem to remember it is out of a Land Rover! Does have an original look to it though.

 

Mitch,

I have one of these myself for my 993 but didn't install it yet. Are you running this unit without an external AMP? I mean just the headunit and then wired directly to the speakers? Reason for asking is that the 993s with the HiFi-option all have an external amå under the passenger seat (nokia I think). I just wonder what the difference in sound will be with or without the ext. amp.

 

There is an proper speedsignal, i heard from a friend who builds all these beckers in forthe peeps at the dutch forum, after i had installed mine and took an wire from the speedometer.

I ask him wich color it has.

 

 

Verry nice picture,

It's the red/white at the decklid module. I dont know of it's the same with those Uk right handed cars, but i think so.
