I did, and I am happy to report, that everything works now as it should.
Very happy with the unit, the only thing I have yet to figure out is the MF steering wheel controls, Volume+/- is switched on the steering wheel, everything else works just fine.
Also would very interested to get your DSP settings, I am. playing around, but since I have no real idea what I am doing, a starting point would be great.

Following because I partially installed a new unit yesterday in my 997.2 w/Bose and having the exact same issue. Seems like everything works (sound on and is good, I see radio station in dash, etc.) except the unit/screen stays on after removing the key. I see in post #1338 and elsewhere this issue has come up before but I'm not clear on what the resolution is.

Based on everything I read here I purchased a Owtosin 8"1280*720P Qualcomm 665 6G+128G Android 12 Car DVD GPS Radio For Porsche 911 Boxster Cayman 987 Head Unit Auto Stereo on AliExpress website like so many of you. The installation was straightforward and I've been very happy with the results. I have 2 questions, maybe 3 that I've not been able to figure here after many searches.
1) Is there a link to an online User Manual? If so I haven't been able to locate it.
2) After a bit of wiring attention my FM receiver works quite well, but now it won't stop seeking/scanning/searching. What do I do to keep it on a station for more than 10 seconds?
3) The built in GPS I've never been able to get to work, It won't pull anything up, at all and says something about Israel when it loads.
These are things I've been unable to resolve on my own despite a lot of time invested. Yes, I use CarPlay and what not, but these are things I'd like to work, particularly the FM radio.

Do any of these 997 specific aftermarket units have a digital output via optical or coax ?
The Joying Android units do but they don't make a 997 specific model. Their floating screen solution would work but I would prefer one of these that look more OEM.

1. I had originally spliced the red ACC wire on the MOST box to the green wire on the car side of the harness (CAN WAKE). After reading through this thread I changed this and now the red ACC wire on the MOST box is connected to the Blue Auto Ant wire on the harness.
2. I went into my into Settings -> Factory -> 3368 and set "Antenna normally on" to OFF. No idea why this was set to ON but as soon as I changed that setting (with key removed) the unit went off so that was definitely a problem keeping the unit alive with the key out.
Now the unit turns on and off with the key. Success! Now on to the reverse camera.

This one is from Amluc but take a look and see if it helps for your unit.
