Thanks dude Ive heard some people say it can use the bose sub and some not, if its using the stock amp it surely should be able to use the stock sub, anyone know for sure???

 

You didn't say if you have Nav or not... If you have Nav and replace the head unit, you will not be able to keep using the stock amp because you will have no way to transmit the unlock code from the head unit to the amplifier.

It is not plug and play. You will have to wire some of the connectors you get from Loi; but not to worry. He is very helpful and will make sure you get everything working in the end. I have submitted a few posts here that include the wiring diagrams for the 01 PCM - let me know if you need it and can't find it.

 

Thanks dude, I do have nav and your diagrams will be very useful if you could find me a link, im hopeless at searching stuff. Thanks dude.

 

Got this back from Loi

Hi John,

If you have an 02 model w/ PCM and BOSE...you CAN use the stock amplifier. If you have an 03 or newer 996, w/ PCM or CDR 23 and BOSE...you CANNOT use the stock amplifier due to the MOST fiber optic connection between radio and amplifier.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Cheers,

Loi T.

 

All of my info on the 01 is here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...eo-wiring.html

I hope it helps...

 

Thanks dude, where did your carbon come from ???

 

I get the fabric from Compositeenvisions.com. I have done all the carbon fibre work on the car myself.

 

It looks fantastic dude, have you laid it over the top of the original panels ?

 

I removed the paper-thin leather that comes OEM and applied the CF onto the underlying plastic trim. That's what you get when you order the CF option from Porsche. The cool thing is that CF is amazingly cheap - it's the labour you are paying for. I did all the trim on the interior for about $50 worth of CF and $100 in resin. It's a fun hobby too!

 

Do you do it for others in return for beer and pizza vouchers ???

 

Why yes, yes I do...

 

What sort of cost to do all my interior stuff, at the moment its the alloy pack so no leather to remove, so horseshoe around stereo, cubby surround, nav surround, centre console and both arm rests and grab handles on the door and speedo surround. PM me if you like.
