Hi. Not quite following here. What's a plotter? How did you do it, or would you be willing to make one for someone else ;-) ?

Search eBay for Porsche Caliper Stickers. They make different sizes that work.

Good idea. I've asked one of the eBay sellers if they make it in 2.5 mm height in white (which I think is the same size as the one I previously got from an eBay seller in Thailand).

Default How did you get this to fit in the bezel?

Also the interface is completely customizable. If I wanted I could add TPMS sensors as well. This brings my 99 up to having all the features of a new car.




Hi, how did you get this to fit in the bezel? I have a Metra bezel but the ATOTO is not 2 DIN. Thanks.

I was planning to upgrade my head unit similar to yours and was wondering what you did about the DSP? Do you need a different harness for the DSP?

I have the ATOTO S8 and had to grind down the inside of the Metra bezel, another person with the same setup didn’t have to grind theirs, so I’m assuming the Metra piece is the issue. I broke the 1st one trying to make it fit. Found a post somewhere about grinding the bezel and used a sanding pad on my oscillating tool to grind the inside until it fit.

It is a tight fit for sure. I have done 3 of these now and only 1 of them I have had to sand to get to fit. The rest was just a tight squeeze. Good news is it doesn't move at all once it is mounted. Love this unit and it does everything great.

Anyone tried the Ebay Car optical decoder with the Atoto Head unit.
Really looking for change my 996.2 radio but don't want to spend $2K

Thanks

I tried 3 different MOST converters from Amazon, Cayenne, Mercedes-Benz, and one other w/o luck. I have the ATOTO S8 and paired it with a Soundstream 640.d amplifier (it’s small and mounted in the factory amp location w/ the factory bracket). It meant running 3 RCA cables through the firewall above the throttle pedal which wasn’t too difficult. I found the correct plug on Aliexpress to match the factory amp plug, so no cutting factory harness, and made a pigtail to go to the new amp.

I have this one installed on both my 04 996 c2 and 03 996tt. No issues with it.

Nice! Looks like you would have no fader(front to rear) as that’s only a 2 channel input from radio. 🫤

What head unit did you pair it with? Did you also install rear view camera
