Default PCM 2 Wiring Help

Does anybody know where I can find out what each plug on the back of my PCM 2 is for? Is there a diagram of the wiring for them somewhere?

Thanks

Bump, I'm looking for the same thing. I'd like to know what wires I can tap for constant 12+ and the best ground. I'm installing a MoBridge/Dension unit.

I currently have a 2003 911 with the factory Becker CDR23 stereo with Bose premium sound. Is it a direct plug and play to upgrade to the OEM PCM 2 navigation unit? Is it pre-wired already for everything?

Hi all,

Reviving an old thread here. Loren, or anyone else, can you point me a wiring diagram for a PCM 2.1? I am looking for the handsfree mic leads...

Thanks!

Cheers,
TomF

Hi Loren, this is very helpful, I'm planning to install the tranzit blu hf this weekend and was going to attempt to patch into my 997.1 existing microphone (I have the PCM phone option) instead of hanging the microphone the kit comes with.

Would anyone happen to know if the wire diagram that was posted is also applicable to PCM 2.1 which I figure is what is on the 997.1's? Thanks in advance.
