Any issues with DSC Controllers on 987?
I'm strongly considering buying a DSC Controller for my PASM-equipped 987.2 when they are back in stock. They've been on backorder for a while now, but more units are expected around the end of the year.
Recently, I stumbled on this thread which suggests a number of issues, including overheating and software glitches: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/1423...er-failed.html
These aren't at all inexpensive, the warranty is short, and I'd hate to end up with a pricey paperweight. Has anyone had a failure with this device specifically on a 987? I'm wondering if the failure rate may be different depending on model.
Those who have them on 987s seem to rave about them, which is what got me interested in buying one.

Same here. ~7 years in and still working fine. It did introduce an annoying whine in the car due to electrical interference, but especially for a track car (or older driver that can’t hear this frequency) it’s a minor issue.

I didn't get any electrical noise from it. My car is without modifications. Original Bose.
