Default Retrofitting a PCM from 2002 c4s to 2000 c2.. possible?

Hey guys,

Wondering if this is possible (pcm1)? is the wiring already in place or will I have to modify/cut things?

Thanks!

Paul

here is some more information on the set up:

I really am looking to upgrading to something stock and clean looking. I fully understand that this navi will be behind in it's routes and streets, but to be honest, want to do this more for the factory look of the dash. I will still probably use my phone for navigation as it talks all the directions out.

So main thing, is hooking it up..

Here are actually this items I am talking about. I figure they may end up as a really good deal as there doesn't seem to be much demand for these units, and shouldn't be many bids (unless, I am probably now creating more competition for myself! lol)

Thanks for feedback!!

Obsolete System, you might as well for a Windows 95 Desktop in your car.

Realistically more like Windows 3.1

I'd recommend a Kenwood. Blue tooth, Nav, Touch screen and you probably don't even need to add an amp.

Here is my install. Totally updates the interior and still looks stock if your used to seeing 997's, 991 with Nav

+1 for an aftermarket system. I also like Kenwood head units.

I have an analog system and didn't do the install myself. As far as I know if there wasn't any cabling. Took them about an hour and half but I also had them ripping out a radar and tracking system from the car.

That looks great!

And I know I can get an aftermarket unit (and have had aftermarket units)

I'm just that factory guy, you know love the factory screen look.

I suppose I'll rething my options... none-the-less, seems like a good deal for someone on here if not me..
