Pagey Posted April 15, 2023 Report Share Posted April 15, 2023 any idea when this will be available for the 987.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn987 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Porsche has indicated the demand for the PCCM+ is high and they are already working on one for the 987.2, I am guessing within 1 or 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul P Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Shame the hack doesn’t work for CarPlay. It’s a ridiculous design choice to have it front mounted only. Nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn’t recognise the port for CarPlay physically then I doubt that box would wake it up. Would be good if it did but I think you have to have the basics on the port.

Fair point, I was thinking power only but of course it needs comms back to CarPlay somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rennlist posting linked to says the the rear port hack doesn’t work for CarPlay or Android Auto. I haven’t read the detail of what they are describing so maybe there are a couple of ways of doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris D Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 Could anyone that has this (to fit themselves) be kind enough to post some details / part nrs / photos of the DAB amplifiers. I'm aware there are two; one per A pillar and it's a direct replacement for the FM amplifier. I've an aftermarket Pioneer DAB/Carplay/Android unit in mine but I've the awful windscreen antenna. Curious to know if i can replace the OEM FM for DAB amplifiers. Thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious to know if i can replace the OEM FM for DAB amplifiers. Thanks Chris No 1st hand experience on this unit - but on previous daily the issue was using the existing aerial for DAB was the fact it had an amplifier - I bypassed the amp and the built in antenna worked OK for DAB - with a splitter to give me FM - honestly neither was perfect but they were good enough - DAB performance was similar to current daily built in setup with respect to signal drops etc. - generally I have dab to do that when mobile. From reading around this (9x7) and seeing some YT vids of the 9x6 equivalent it seems the wiring included in these units bypass the built in aerial amps. SO maybe it;s not a case of new amp / booster just - go around the old one. There's a couple of vids from friends green porsche on the 9x6 and 9x7 variants - you might find a clue there.

Chris D Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 The new unit from Porsche comes with 2x new DAB amplifiers. To replace the FM amplifiers in the A pillars. I've seen this in an installation video and someone else on another forum has mentioned it when they installed it themselves. I just don't have sight of the part numbers. I'm thinking if I could source the DAB amplifiers seperately then I could replace my FM amplifiers and use the existing antenna cable.

Paul P Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 Ok. I never saw the replacement amps in the videos I saw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine too has the CDR24 with ASK and the amifiers supplied in the kit are not compatible, the wiring connectors are completely different? With the original one in situ I get 3 DAB stations and nothing on AM or FM. I've logged it with Porsche and an awaiting a response. Be interested to hear how you got on. Cheers Ady Hi Ady, I've had the same problem. I've found an PCCM+ installation guide for installing in a 986/996 and it has this in it: "On 986 vehicles with antenna amplifier 987.647.105.00, adapter 986.642.573.00 (not included in scope of delivery) must be used." I've just ordered the part from Eurospares, so hopefully I'll confirm that is works in the next week or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AM signal was poor, but I don't listen to that anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
