It's relatively new but it looks like a good upgrade. Anyone know anything about it? I plan to use a local shop for the upgrade - they've got the equipment, the conversion kit and the experience!

I have it, replace my 4400 with it, what would you like to know? It's a great deck in my opinion, can't beat it for the price.

thinking of getting this one too, mirek, do you have any pics? I wanna see how it looks install on the car

Would love to see some pics of this unit installed.

That 8400 unit comes with bluetooth? Is the unit hardwired to the mic and is it compatible to the 996?? TIA

NZ951

Yes bluetooth, mic is a plug in the back.

PS the installation is incredibly easy, takes about an hour if you dont know what you are doing, the conversion kit is on eBay...

Huh, thanks for the info guys. The shop wants about 300 bucks for install...if i could do it myself it'd make the decision a lot easier! Frankly I just might go with a straight head unit swap....

mirek

Really sorry for the delay, I have been busy.

There are lots of how to's around and eBay kit has documentation as well, its like wiring 4-5 wires...

rednerrus

ok im convinced.. full screen is the way to go!

question, how durable is the unit? im planning on detaching the face at least once a day.

also where did you get your trim kit? im thinking of getting the euromotorspeed one from ebay, but kinda pricey.

SubzeroX

is this MOST bus compatible? ie. compatible with MY2003+ 911?

Mine's an 02...I was making sure it is not MOST required...
