Seicane working fine, ordering the noise suppressor, don't currently have it installed (it is needed). I am using the Alpine shallow double din unit (ILX-W650) I have a ton of space behind it where all the wires and seicane unit is installed, will put the suppressor there as well.

I returned the Kenwood and went with a Pioneer HU, and it works really great! I wasn’t happy w/ HD2 reception, and Pioneer works. It may also have to do with the Porsche powered antenna in the pillar on pax side, easy to get too, AND made sure it was properly powered, And grounded. No whine, no his and HD2 stations work like they’re supposed too, Alpine amplifier with my Bose speakers, all work great together!

No problems with the Seicane box here. Wish I’d been able to solve the noise as the suppressor as it is kind of admitting defeat, but didn’t want to keep roughing up the trim testing stuff. The Scoshe suppressor fit nice and snug in one the two little cavities on either side of where the radio frame slides in. I just velcroed the Seicane box onto the back oh the HU. Hopefully nothing will be bouncing around in there.

. I don’t know what a secane box is

or the suppressor. I left everything up to the guy at best buy

How to disable the parking brake signal for the stereo? I tried running it to ground, didn't work. Thanks

Harley42

well I don’t usually engage the parking brakes as it’s pretty flat around here. So I don’t know about a light

Sorry can’t help on that one. On my Sony the only live wires I have going into the harness are power and ground.

Search Amazon for a "Parking Brake Bypass". Pioneer changed it's systems a few years ago so the unit wouldn't be fooled by just grounding the wire. I'm sure others followed. They aren't expensive, and I've used one for two different installations now.

Is it something about how these work that restricts them to two channels? Has anyone found one with 4?

Just finished up a double din install on my '03 using the CAI kit. Pretty much plug and play after a bunch of calls to Rod on the toll free line. Of course I broke the cup holder face plate so there goes $320. Sigh.. Some of my switches on the horseshoe are not seated or the snaps are broken. If you push on them they fall into the opening. Anyone else see this?

You may have to get s new horse shoe as the nibs that hold the buttons , i think, are on the horseshoe. I seem to remember on one of the Porsche parts sites, you vould buy just the face plate. I too, need to do that as my car came with the same problem. I’ve don pretty much all the other repairs, just haven’t gotten to the last 2 repairs yet. But i reall think its out there. Save a bunch. Think it either slips or snaps on. I’m gonna look myself.

Something I am interested in as well, will do a bit more research on the 4 channels.

So sent them an email, not sure what I expected beyond a bit more information:

I'm looking at updating the radio head unit in my car and was interested in using one of your decoders to be able to still use the rest of the Bose sound system in my car. I believe the model I need is the SC69 but wanted to confirm. Will this retain the 4 channels in the car, front/back, right/left? Thank you in advance,

yes,it could support 4 channels in the car, .
and you could buy the SC69 to support Bose sound systemAmy"

so there you go, I'll buy one anyway to see how it goes.
