Great video. Did u disconnect the battery when you did all this? I have a cd changer in my 997 turbo in my frunk so what special back loop wiring do I have to do and where plug in? And, I was a little confused about the Bose AM/FM part I guess if my reception is bad I just install the jumper. Ps I’m a UNR grad. Back in Cali now. Cheers. Thx

will this cause car not to smog? I don't get that code but the dealer says that it "may" be these solenoids. Dealer was crap and don't go to LOng Beach Porsche Dealer if you don't want to get robbed, plus they are owned by mercedes now!!

Good video, does anyone know if this is also available for the 997.2 ?

I want one of these but it’s soooo expensive. Massive kudos to Porsche for making these.

I had PCCM Plus installed in my 2007 911 997 with a Bose Sound system, and I'm disappointed with the volume level, especially with CarPlay. It can't be compared to the old system. Does anyone know what might be causing this, or is it simply a fact that this PCCM Plus doesn't match the quality of the original system?

Excellent video, convinced me to buy this unit and install it ourselves into a 2008 Cayman replacing the original CDR24 with the Bose package. Good attention to detail, especially about those side spring tabs. We found that plugging the FM antenna wire directly into the top antenna connector, and not using the fiber (yellow + black) connector at all yielded better FM reception. Thank you !

Thank you so much for this video! So many useful tidbits. I especially appreciated the bits about the spring tabs needing to be inside when installing the side panels, and near then end when you showed where the FM loop was - I would have never found that on my own. And that was the only thing that needed to be done with the subwoofer removed. I don't remember you showing where the optical loop goes, but I found that it is necessary for removing the old "tooki" bluetooth box in the dash... I was originally thinking it would go in the boot with the CD navigation drive, but no... nothing needs to be done up front for this install. Thank again!

I thought the install would be pretty straight forward and found your video just before I set out to do this on my own. I am so glad I took the extra few minutes to watch this as you no doubt saved me hours of heartache. This was exactly what I needed! Thank you!

Would be helpful if Porsche provided starting guidance for developer mode MicVolume settings for different car configs such as cabriolet, etc.

Thank you

If you have the DVD navigation you must put that loop in? My radio has no sound, I’m wondering if is because of the loop not being installed

Great video. Wish this was up when I installed mine last year. Mine suddenly stopped turning off with the car. I found your video to review the process and never knew there was a PCCM+ set up function. I hit that and all is good again!

Did you have the CD / DVD Changer?

Best tutorial for the PCCM plus. Thank you ever so much

Wish you would of shown how you removed the bose woofer panel. I know you said it's easy, but.... Can you tell me where the clips are at least. The panel must be removed or else I cannot get to the FM bypass process.

Great Video, Could we use the same system for 997 Gen 2 as well ?

Hi guys, i have a issue with Bank 1. I have rough idle, car starts "slower" than normal & a PSM, AWD & Start-Stop Failure dash lights too. The Fault Code is P0344 (Cam sensor intermittent) Got a new cam sensor, new battery, fresh oil change, new coils & spark plugs (wanted to refresh this stuff anyways) but still this code comes up after i delete it. Whats a bit annoying - if i start the car (Panamera 4s 970) the cam sensor shows only a short time reading the camshaft position and then goes to 0 degrees. But when i took it for a drive and let the Scan tool on the readings stsrt to come sometimes at round about 2000 rpm I also checked the tone ring on the Camshaft thru the Sensor hole. It looked fine and not damaged. Also the bolts on the adjuster looked good since many people had problems with that. Im literally stuck right now. Can a bad or dirty Solenoid could bring up faults like this?! I inspected the old oil and filter after the oil change and they looked very old and absoluter not that good. Hopefully someone have any kind of advice for me. I hope to get it sorted & would report here my next steps. Thanks for your time and sorry for my bad english 😅

I’m kinda glad for the delayed delivery; gives me more time to complete the back up cam installation on my ‘06 987 Got any thoughts on that instal ?

Porsche Pasadena or Porshe South Bay, both in South Cal, may have a PCCM in stock.

Just put my order in. I’m watching all the PCCM utube videos. Can I have a back-up cam and dash cam added ? I think the dash cam is a separate independent system ?

Great video, were you also getting psm failures triggered along with codes prior to replacing?

Thanks bud. Need to do mine this weekend. 2011 cayenne s. Owned it since 2018. Not looking forward to this.

My local Porsche Dealer says only Porsche can correctly do the installation; Is a PWIS required to activate any of th PSSM in a Boxster 987 ? And, should my local car stereo shop (. 30 years in business ) be capable of the installation ?

Great explanation compared to others. I've subscribed. I have a few questions: 1) Was any radio code supplied and any programming needed? I have Cayman 2006 with Bose. 2) Have you had any issues with the unit not turning off. There are some forum people with that issue? Thanks

I just did this job. Life hack… use a 1/4” box end wrench to loosen and tighten that too bolt.

I love that you left the "Title Text Here" slide in the video 🤣🤣🤣 Seriously though, thanks for the informative video.

Hi M, thanks for putting this up. I have the unit installed in my 997.1 by my local specialist. But noticed a slight delay / lag in response of the volume knob everytime I use Apple Carplay. It also resets the equalizer (bass/treble) by itself at random 😢. So this feels a bitch glitchy and beta. Have you noticed anything like this? Or anybody else with de 997 units?

So does the reverse camera work?

Great video, keep up the good work!!

Thanks for posting this video. I have been told that the radio reception on the PCCM Plus is not as good as that provided by the original unit. Have you found that to be the case?

This video clarifies and expands on the install procedure described on the Rennsport website, and makes more sense of it. The install can be frustrating without instructions (by Porsche design). As you note near the end of the video, to properly remove the BOSE subwoofer on the passenger side of the console tunnel: first gently remove the small grilled air vent (on it’s middle bottom is a tab to depress and remove) this allows access to a previously hidden torx bolt that holds on the vent/grill housing. Second, remove that plastic grill housing, allowing access to a larger Torx 30 (with a washer) securing the actual subwoofer to the console. Loosen or remove that T30, and THEN pull the subwoofer toward the rear of the car to continue with head unit removal. 👍🏼

FYI - It looks like you missed 2 additional screws that hold the side mounts to the front. Each side mount has 2 screws in the side and 1 behind the faceplate. Took me a bit to find where the extra screws went. Looked back through this video that I had bookmarked and noticed it on your installation too.

Fantastic video! Thank you so much for posting. Now I’ll just have to see how to take apart the DVD navigation unit in the frunk to put the orange bypass loop on it. Also, did you disconnect the battery or was everything ok during the install with it still connected?

I did the same install on my 987 (with Bose) yesterday and it all went smoothly. The CD changer has power but no longer seems to function. The only differences I noticed are that there is no where to plug the yellow digital FM cord into the car, so it hangs loose behind the unit. Also, FM reception works well like this and the FM bypass is not required either. The unit sounds great and integrates like a factory unit into the system, making it seem like a new car!

how well does the gps work with if it's placed on top of the head unit like that?

Great video! Very comprehensive. One upgrade I did to my microphone installation is I ordered from Enfig Car Stereo a Porsche 997 microphone that allows the microphone, all be it with some small modifications, to be installed under the housing of the steering column instead of on top as originally instructed for the PCCM+. Ideally, Enfig could manufacture the small housing needed to clip into the factory placement on its own, but in the meantime, spending an extra $50 bucks is worth it for the factory placement upgrade. Not sure why Porsche did not figure this out in the first place.

Does this work on the 997.2 generation?

Does the factory cd changer still work?

Thanks for the great video. Can’t wait to try this on my car.

What happens to the factory DC changer with this installation? Will it continue to operate or can it be removed?

Thank you! Success installing on my 2006 997S. Could not have done it without your video!!!

Great video!!! Love the attention to details. Is the main screen with all the icons really black and white? Is there not an option for color there?

Correction for the subwoofer removal. There is a T30 screw holding the subwoofer but it seems like whoever else removed it last time on your car didn’t screw it back. The 3 prong plastic piece on top of the subwoofer comes up if you just pull it with your hand which opens the screw/hole.

Doesn't sound great. Sound quality and volume sucks compared to the original system

Great video! Question is Apple Car Play bluetooth or usb connect?

You are the best! Contemplating on upgrading and this video made the decision for me. Thank you so much for your efforts.

Great video, thank you for sharing it. Did you put anything in the A-pillars? How long did it take you end to end?

Thanks for the great video! I have a 997 turbo that I want to upgrade. Has the bose system. Any issues with that? Yeah my local dealer wanted $2000 for install! Love how Porsche doesn't include any instructions on purpose 🙄

It was very helpful ! Thank you !
