Agree with most of the comment from the 911uk thread

It doesnt suit the 964/993 dash or interior at all, and doesnt appear to fit properly either

Becker is far more in keeping

just sent an email to the company asking about compatibility for install.

 

Looks good.

 

some good and some not so good reviews but i have time before i purchase anything so will keep looking.

 

FYI on the Porsche classic unit - I spoke to my local Porsche dealership today and they confirmed that the unit isnt supposed to be flush. They have one available for me to look at pre-install so I

 

...will go in this weekend and give an update afterwards.

 

J...can u ask when u go this weekend if the unit can ahve usa maps installed also ? thanks in advance.

 

I like the look of this Porsche classic unit and think it works well in the 964 and 993 dash. Hmmm.

I find my Becker Grand Prix a bit hit and miss. It sounds great (although thats alot to do with the JL Audio amp and speakers) but the system software is a nightmare to understand. Trying to tune the radio is unfathomable without the manual (and even then it remains a challenge while driving). The bluetooth telephone is a borderline fail too as you have to shout so that the other person on the call can hear you (with the mic mounted by the steering wheel). Coming across iPod leads at resonable cots is tricky too.

So maybe this Classic unit is for me!

Anyone know the answers to these questions (especially owners who have the actual manual)...

1. Does the rear conenctors have provision for a pre-out? At least on the front channels. So that I can pipe that into the amp?
2. Whats the purpose of video out connections? Does this suggest it plays video? I'm thinking to some rear screens to keep the kids quite on a journey.

Oh I see, it's a DVD player too. Cool.

 

Sticks out half and inch on 964/993 which defeats the purpose of what should look like a factory installation IMHO. Not to mention...964/993 interiors can arguably go both ways in terms of updating/backdating...this looks a bit 'old' for the 964 IMO.

 

Maybe I'll just go for this:



Music only, no nav. Pioneer DEX P99RS, reference model, so not cheap, and you need a separate amp. But still looks great, and would fit the 964's looks IMO.

 

Not so cheap is right, $1199.00 -

 

I went to OPC Chester at lunchtime to have a look at the Classic Radio manual. The unit appears to have pre-outs for the rear channels, but not the fronts.

Fortunately my amp will still take the speaker level outputs (by reducing the input sensitivity) and although not ideal, could be configured to work.

the lack of iPod flexibility is making me think twice now though.

 

Nice! When some lousy brass valve guide cost $10K to fix this seems like a deal!

 

Just got this from Germany, it does everything. £1000 is too much for the porsche job which looks like the screen would be useless when driving
