Doddler Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Hi just bought a 987 spyder and I’m looking to upgrade the stereo to include car play, handsfree, Bluetooth etc I think the Pioneer 160 unit has been recommended but does anybody know anything about the PCCM+ being developed for the 987/997?

Pinewood Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 987 Spyder will have PCM3.0 therefore the easiest thing to do is upgrade the headunit to something like the Pioneer sph-230dab (other makes and models available) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddler Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks pinewood, I’ll have a look into it. Trying to get more info from OPC with regards an oem replacement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmand Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 I seem to remember that the 986/996 OEM upgrades are an expensive option - there’s been a thread on PCGB about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmand Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Actually several threads - seem to have been issues with availability and teething issues but perhaps historical. Ca £1400…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddler Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Thanks, I’ve read a few threads with little information to the current availability for gen 2 987. I’ve spoken to OPC who are looking into it but said it’s not available currently. Looks like I’ll be going for Pioneer or Kenwood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmand Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Seem to be issues with availability of the 986 version so could be a while before there’s something for your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iborguk Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Some talk of PCCM+ coming to 987 next year, there's a link in there I posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrVert Posted March 25, 2022 Report Share Posted March 25, 2022 I installed the Pioneer DAB160 unit, works brilliantly and would thoroughly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doddler Posted March 30, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Nice one, I’ve still not done anything yet. Just listening to the music from the Soul exhaust 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickH Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I had a 230dab pioneer just fall apart on me. Ive ended up with a road angel. But I wouldnt recommend that either as the software is pants. The Kenwood is meant to be a good option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my childhood they were a very trusted brand. Quality not what it used to be - no warranty support? I thought several people here had those or their predecessors (was it the 120?), didn't hear of problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of warranty and the face fell off damaging the touchscreen. Still not sure how it happened my car is low and stiff, but not that stiff 😂. A replacement touchscreen is nearly £90. So thought its better to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonewolfgjp Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Don’t they do a joyauto Apple CarPlay kit for 987.2? That would be ideal as you would keep the factory look but get the more modern features. Ive recently fitted a Pioneer da160 in my van and to be far it does seem pretty good but you would need to run the Apple lead into the armrest to tidy it up👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
