This looks factory to me and normally with an aftermarket head unit I'd never say that. Thanks for sharing.

There is a gray one in the classifieds for sale right now.

Swing by the 997 forum to read all about these units, partially designed by a fellow rennlister some time ago

it looks much better than the OE retrofit!

a new, bare headunit is 190 new 32gb model, or 230 for 64gb. hard to compare since the ad doesn't have much info

The OE PCM+ is a rip off as it's just a Chinese unit with a Porsche logo. Looking at this new system, mine now looks severely dated.

AltitudeRacing

I bought the black unit and paint matched the hvac and lower control module, then got a .2 lower cubby as its the same design. Fantastic unit minus the aforementioned mounting lacking, but fixable.

Which exact unit did you get?

AltitudeRacing

One of these

https://www.aliexpress.us/item/32568...yAdapt=glo2usa

got the $260 one, part #UIS8141E-2-32-Bose
I dont touch anything but the volume button as I use my phone and dont use carplay so i cant comment on functionality but its good for my bluetooth streaming.
I also deleted the bose sub and nav unit up front but it still works with an MOST loop I bought.

Chris M.

So you did not order the “fiber optic box” since you deleted the Bose sub?

AltitudeRacing

No I still ordered it. Its still required with the bose system as the fiber optic comes off the amp. Unless you delete the amp and whole fiber system and convert it to a standard style stereo output its necessary.

You can just unplug the sub and itll still work. If you wanna delete the nav unit in the frunk next to the amp I just got an MOST loop off amazon and plugged it into the fiber plug that went into the nav disc changer to make the fiber optic loop continous.

To be honest the oem system is unnecessarily complex with the fiber etc.

For anyone who thinks it's a "Cheap Chinese knock off of the PCCM+" this is the oem pcm that I pulled out of my car.

AltitudeRacing

Looks like chinese characters, but I think people are referring to the internals of the pccm+, where its just a form of android software.

Yep, translated the bottom black box to "class 1 laser product" in chinese

Japanese radio made in Czech Republic. Only Chinese is the laser. Not a Chinese radio. Best radio I've ever had was Japanese, Nakamichi CD700 II. Still have it.

This looks like an amazing solution for the price.

There seems to be a confusing amount of different options though. I wonder if anyone has done one in a sound package plus vehicle like mine without the Bose and which unit would be required? From my limited research it might be less plug and play.


I don’t care about having a backup camera or the other options. I just want Carplay preferably wireless and to not have to rewire or splice any of the existing wiring.
