Pics?

Fellow midnight blue owner as well.

I'll get some tomorrow hopefully. It hasn't rained here but once in the last couple months and now of course it rains the day I had it done. Then cloudy all day. So no pics yet.

Pics aren't very good. iPhone and bad lighting but you get the idea.

Pioneer SPH-DA120

It has the ability to match the amber instruments and I downloaded a Porsche logo - so the background looks totally stock

Could you please post some pictures? How do the speakers connect, assuming you have a MOST?

Thanks!

As of when I installed this head unit there wasn't a dedicated wiring kits for the 996tt. I spliced all the wires that matched up (ign +, const +, ground, remote +, front speakers) The rear speaker wires didn't match up in the wiring kit so I made my own (the white connector, bought from Radio Shack).

The car originally had NAV and has the Bose subwoofer. Everything works; dash speakers, doors speakers and the subwoofer.
