Wow - I recently found out I won a Porsche Classic Radio (including installation) in a raffle at our local dealer! It's not the sort of thing I would have bought, but I'll certainly put it in my car now.

There is currently no radio or rear speakers in the car (an old installation was taken out), so it will be nice to have some tunes. I'm planning to add new HiFi rear speakers from Gert to round out the package.

There are a number of other threads reviewing the PCR, but I'll post some pics and opinions once the install is complete if anyone is interested.

Hey, Congratulations! Enjoy it, it will bring your 993 into the 21st century. Does it have satellite radio capability?

Mr.Woolery

Congratulations! That's awesome

RodKnock

Lucky you! Congrats!

Wait! Adding this radio will drastically reduce the value of your pristine, original 993. However, I'll do ya a favour and purchase it from you. Please PM me.

Thanks all! I got lucky on this one for sure.

You are truly kind and altruistic!

What an amazing win!

That's awesome Mike, congratulations!! Vu just did a video of the install, it's on the PCAHQ channel on youtube.

Thanks! I actually emailed Vu yesterday to ask a few questions based on what I saw on the video and he answered me immediately! Membership has it's privileges...

Enjoy your new system.
When the Cayman was introduced many years ago, at what was then called Maplewood Porsche (one of two Porsche dealers in the Twin Cities metro area), I won a raffle for a Bose wave radio.
Like you, not something I would have purchased myself.
Nice that the dealerships do stuff like this.

Greetings- May I hijack this happy thread? My 1996 Targa has the stock radio (with door and rear deck speakers) and I would prefer to keep it. However, I would like to add BT hands free calling, and audio streaming to the car. Devices such as this:

require a 3.5 mm aux connector to get audio into the speaker system, but the Porsche radio lacks this. Are there proven hacks to discreetly connect an external BT device to this venerable (not obsolete) radio? Thanks very much!

Probably can't get more proven than having the people that built your radio add an aux jack.

Do you have a working CD changer in the car? Also, what kind of stock radio do you have? CDR210 perhaps?

I hope that you aren't going to use OEM 993 speakers

Many folks here (myself included) use the CDR220, as offered in the 996. Very period correct and accepts an AUX jack. I believe that is what Becker Sound is referring to when they say "1998 and up." These radios can be found, if patient, in the $200-300 range or can be had from Becker turn key for $600 or so IIRC. Lastly there is a software patch that improves reception; search is your friend here or again speak with Becker.
