The siriusXM receiver is a generic Sirius component, not Porsche. It is pretty cheap IIRC. I had mine installed by a pro and I don’t remember where they put the antenna but it is completely hidden (must be under dash or rear shelf) and reception is very good.

Actually, Sirius will pay you to get one Currently a $70 rebate and its $35 on Amazon.

looks like there is a cable to connect the PCR to the sirius module.

Does this need to be ordered separate or does it come with the radio? Its part number 911-642-313-00

My mechanic pulled my Alpine... SOB was cut clean! He is in the process of sourcing a OEM harness... Have to wait till June now for Porsche Classic Radio install... oh well **** happens!

I have had mine since it first was launched in Europe, so about four years now. It fits the dash design of a 993 perfectly, the sound is reasonably good and the hands-free phone is excellent.

My only gripe is the limited size of the screen and that it is often obscured by reflecting light, as it is not skewed towards the driver. Porsche initially installed the GPS antenna under the dashboard cover but had to move it to under the rear window shelf, as reception under the dash was terrible.

All in all, it is a great addition to the car, offering everyday practicality and a look which fits the interior very well.

I recently installed it and it's great!

My only gripe is that when I copy files to the SD I cannot get them to play in correct order. Manual says it will play in directory list order and I have my files prefixed with track number... Anyone get this to work correctly?

How is the screen when exposed to direct sunlight?

RudyP

Not great. It gets washed out pretty easily with direct sunlight. No worse than some other OEM solutions (my Aston martin’s screen is completely illegible in direct sunlight) and not something that bothers me too much but it is nowhere near as good as some high brightness, matte screens in other modern cars.

Mine should be delivered today! However, after speaking with my Stereo guy, he's telling me that he doesn't think the radio has RCA pre-amp output to connect to an aftermarket amp. Is that the case? Does Porsche offer an adapter for this? Any other thoughts to solve this problem?

I have 75W 5 channel amp hooked up to it...

GBX

care to share how you did it?

If i can't find a good option, i'll be selling mine if anyone's interested. Just looking to get what i paid - $1100 from Sonnen plus shipping. Will throw in the extra cable needed for Sirius ($18).

For me;

• the NAV is too small a screen and too far away from the driver's field of view while driving.
• It would be more attractive if it nixed the NAV and was simply a retro stylized radio and modern media player at 1/4 the price.
• Better yet, how about just a Porsche designed removable face plate swap out for a current aftermarket head unit to match retro 911 styling. Could be a $100 product.

Am I working under the misapprehension that all map services either a local database in your car or networked facilities like Google Map all use the GPS satellite system to track location?

This is why the Becker BT add in is such a good option for many of us.

Chances are good that the radio has line level outputs but not RCAs. See here for a pinout diagram of the stock radio: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...-gone-wtb.html

The installer may need an adapter.

Why is this showing as discontinued on many of the parts sites?? Anyone know? Is a replacement coming?
