The install document shows a variation of the PCCM Plus that has a brown antenna plug which mine doesn't have but that unit was a variation sold in Europe. And here is a link to rennlist site sharing the experience of another self-install.

I bought the unit for my '02 986 but there are issues. There are no support brackets or retaining bars I could find for the year model so I bent the 1 DIN bracket to open it and grab the sides of the 2 DIN PCCM Plus and had to trim the plastic cross bar from the original dash bezel. When it was connected it only powered the rear deck speakers connected to the brown plug. The manual I found on National Transportation Highway Safety Agency site advised to reconfigure the Volume from CAN to AMP and reset the unit. I made the change but maybe I didn't reset it correctly because I didn't get sound from the four front speakers. I've seen a lot of other posts from after market installs saying a jumper wire has to be installed between 12V on the yellow plug to a position on the black plug to tell the original amp to send sound to the fronts. Maybe that will work on the PCCM Plus too but I'm trying to get the real solution before I move ahead to put it all back in. With all of the connector that have to be pushed in the back blindly, it isn't worth proceeding on guess work. BTW what is a MOST system?

I disconnected the cable from the MOST adapter to the back of the PCCM+ and everything worked. Leave the unit with the dual fiber connection off if you don't have the MOST system. The only requirement was to change from CAN to AMP in the VOLUME settings. It looks, sounds, works great and plays mp4 from the microSD card slot.
