That looks awesome does any one know where i can get a trim ring that fits around the display? Is this a custom ring or can it be bought? How much custom work is there to get the display in? and can you revert to factory after when you sell the car?

Hi TitanL9
The project started because I wanted to improve on the standard SatNav that was part of the PCM1 that was installed in the car. As I travel across Europe several times a year I objected to paying £250.00 per CD per country. My local In-Car Sound expert showed me the Kenwood system, as it is the first in the UK to have a double-DIN fitting screen, which was an ideal replacement for the Porsche fitment. The rest followed...!
Don't get me wrong, I use my car as it was designed to be used. I participate in several track days, and the car is significantly more powerful than the stock 996 Turbo. (505BHP compared to 420BHP) However the car is also my day to day transport (As Pcars are also designed to be) I drive in excess of 15,000 miles per year in it and enjoy listening to a good sound system. I am also a pragmatist, I live in the UK and traffic congestion is often a problem. Only last night I was caught in a traffic jam on my local motorway for 30 mins, and managed to watch TV whilst waiting for the traffic to move again.

Hi Porschecanada
The silver surround is part of the unit, it contains some of the control buttons.
The original loom for the PCM is still in the car, so yes theoretically I can re-fit the old PCM1. However I sold it on ebay last week to recoup some of the cost of the new system

Last week I had a Kenwood DV3200 SatNav and LZ651W multimedia player installed in my 996 TT.
The result I think is fantastic, giving me Satnav, TV,DVD,MP3,CD and 6 disk autochanger

996 C4S Eclipse nav/stereo system
Sorry I took so long. Family sickness, etc. I have installed the Eclipse AVN 2454 in a 04 C4S. It has AM, FM, CD, CD changer, DVD, Nav, (soon released Sirius). Wide screen, Touch screen, Tilt screen. Double DIN size one piece unit. It was the best choice I could find. I like it a lot and seems to be working great. I put in the Eclipse 5 ch amp and changed the speakers to Boston Acoustic Pro in the origional bose grilles, and building a replacement box in the bose sub place with 4 B.A.Pro 6.5 woofers. You can email me for further info and pictures if needed. okbarnett@tampabay.rr.com and I will soon have all the origional radio, amp, bose speakers drivers, and sub box to sell.
