I have just joined Rennlist Forum and have read this thread with interest. I bought the OWtosin unit for my 987 non Bose. It fitted and wired no problem and functions really well I am very pleased with both function and sound quality. However like other members I am having trouble with the reverse camera trigger. I am using a wireless system to save wiring problems (2.4Ghz). Putting into reverse does not bring up the camera on the screen, in fact nothing happens the music plays on. The two pink wires are connected. I have tried to trigger the unit seperately with 12v on the trigger input, nothing. I tried with the two pink wires disconnected, nothing. I tried 12v on the pink wire into the main power socket, nothing. Needless to say OWtosin say the camera is at fault, the camera people say if the trigger does not work then it must be the H.U. which I tend to agree with. I am stumped so if anyone has a solution I am all ears.

Do you have a rear-back camera without any wires? Can you tell what camera and wifi system did you ordered?
I would get the CanBus Adapter for safety - as im not sure if the canBus adapter is where the android pcm gets its basic signal for day/night-time mode (automatic unit dimming).
Wireless camera will work , but you will still need to tap/splice into the reverse trigger in the tail light to power the camera.
I have the OBD2 adapter. it is neat.

So, do I need the CANBUS for anything? Is there any way of having a rear camera without wires (through wifi)?
Does anyone have the link for the OBD 2 optional from owtosin?

these are the standard wifi wireless cameras. its not hard at all to use a traditional wired camera and fish the cables. All step-by-step instructions are clearly labelled above.
I never got wireless to work as race car says you still need a trigger. I hard wired mine with no problems it was quite easy an now works perfectly.

The harness is plug 'n' play. Your link is just an adapter. If you have diversity there is no way in Porsche to make use of it unless you have a PCM as it is fully proprietary. You cannot make this work with an adaptor. Antenna Diversity Control Unit and Radio need to be designed to work with each other. That said, it may still just work (Without diversity) if you just plug the supplied Antenna adaptor into the Antenna Fakra connector coming from the diversity unit and leave the curry coloured Fakra plug just lying around. However, the 997s without PCM system came without diversity from the factory, so it is not a major drawback and the diversity control unit may just fallback to one Antenna if the curry Fakra diversity remains unconnected.
Best is, if someone who just connected the OEM antenna Fakra with supplied adapter comments if FM still is ok. I took the route of new antenna amplifier because I wanted DAB+ as well. (DAB+ is digital radio in Euopre, but delivered terrestrial other than XM which is satellite)
With regards to GPS Antenna, USB ports and microfone you will need to do some installation.
For the MOST adaptor you need to unpin the FX cables from the Quadlock plug, remove the plastic cap of the plug of the new MOST unit and pin the FX cables into the plug. Takes 10 seconds. You will see this, when you have the harness in the car and compare plugs.
It seems you have a 997 facelift S convertible. Same as I have. So I can confirm everything works if done correctly.
I have no sound on mine, I have a 997.2 non-bose...do I need a MOST adapter? Trying to put this working on mine...

That was my question. I don’t think these head units come with a MOST adapter. All the ads for them don’t show one. You most likely have to purchase one separately. Bummer as these aren’t cheap.
