Can you install a PCM 2.1 with Nav/Bose into a car that didn't come with Nav/Bose?

Not an expert but I believe the Bose option has a Bose amplifier which is wired to the speakers so the wiring discrepancy would need to be addressed which may require an amplifier to be installed that matches the Bose wiring harness from the radio head and to the speakers. I can't address the nav, not familiar with how things are blueprinted there.

If I was going thru all that trouble I would consider going aftermarket. here is an alpine nav/radio that is blue tooth and Sirius compatible....it is made for a Bose system but they address installing it in a non Bose 997. https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/bo...-track-source/

I have a PCM 2.1 for sale with the Bose amp and I have had a few interested parties asking whether they could install the unit in their P-car that came without nav.

Don't you need the NAV DVD player in the frunk for NAV to have a chance of working?

Hello yes you can install PCM 2.1 to car without bose amplifier ,each PCM 2.1 has amplifier built in and can work without amplfier or can also work with ASK sound package amplifier but in 997 can be also amplifier only for front speaker (bass speakers in door) and one centre in dash board on top , You have many options but I'm sure that you can do this without problems .
