I went with the Pioneer AVIC Z-120BT and an Alpine PDX-5. You cannot use your stock amp if you switch head unit because your new amp will not transmit the security code to the old amp.
Here is the car schematic:
Here is the speaker wiring:
The kit on EBay is from Loi at Euromotorspeed. It will give you some plugs you need and a cage, but the best part is the bezel - it looks very OEM.
Finished product:

I would say get a normal Garmin unit and put the funds to a good use like a GT2 rear wing and some quad tail pipes

Awesome car and welcome to the club. For the radio if you like tech I will recommend the Pioneer app radio 2.

Steve,
Thanks for the link to your thread! Congratulations on finally making the jump into 996TT ownership, and I'm so glad you're pleased with the car (as I suspected you might be). It's not easy to replace a Supra in some ways, but the 996TT is such an all around great car (and over-engineered, just as we're used to) that it really is a terrific choice for former (or current) Supra owners.
I'm chuckling that our cars are so similar, meaning from the cosmetic/color point of view, and both are 2001 models to boot! Anyway, I really hope you enjoy your Porsche and the new experiences to come.

You always did have good taste.

Huh ?
I use the stock Bose setup on my 2002, I just replaced the HU (AVIC X920BT) and it works fine.
This is fine in 2001 and 2002, 2003 introduced the fiber connections (MOST), which is when the problems start. Em I missing something here ?

I'm using stock speakers as well. But I found out through trial and error that if you change the head unit from th factory nav, you won't be able to use the stock amp. There is an adapter kit on eBay by you can only use parts of it. I got It mostly for the porsche bezel. I'll post up the wiring diagrams I have when I get home to my CPU.
