installed a Double DIN unit
I installed a double din AVIC unit couple of weeks ago.
My car is a Mk2 C4 996 PRE-MOST w/Bose.
I bought the double din installation kit from Eurospeed Motors http://stores.ebay.com/Euromotorspeed
IT WORKED PERFECTLY.
Wiring = 10 mins
Trim removal = 30 mins
AC control module re routing = 30 mins
Microphone wiring = 5 mins
Nav antenna install = 15 mins
Installing cage, setter etc = 10 mins
Installing unit = 10 mins
Putting everything back = 30 mins
Putting on beautiful trim plate that came with this kit = 5 mins
I made 3 phone calls and exchanged 3 emails with Troi - who I believe is the owner of Eurospeedmotors
UNBELIEVABLY helpful. Excellent support.
My wife couldn't believe the look and finish.
ONE note: if you have 02 996 w/ factory cupholder, ditch the heat shield that comes with the kit. It won't fit. The cupholder is on a metal frame and performs the role of the heatshield.
All in all, it seemed a little initimidating to do this at first, but I got it done myself with some help from Troi!
if you are a little nervous, and not experienced with taking things apart, my advice is to buy this kit and go to a stereo store and tell them to install it for you...
Good luck!
