Currently, we only have kits for 996 & 986 and Pioneer systems are the only brand that is supported by our kit. but this will soon change. We have all the parts we need except for the housing & housing brackets for the new kit. We had to make some revisions to the one we did a couple weeks back but it coming together nicely. This universal kit will work for just about any double din system. In addition, we will SOON have kits for newer models of Porsche. Please be patient as we're working hard to bring you only the very best. Trieullionaire

For those trying to find the kit on Ebay, just put in "porsche double din" for the search and you'll find us right away. Updates: -2004-08 Cayman, 911, Boxster, Cayenne: universal double din kits on the way (at a fraction of the cost the guy from Japan is selling it for!). Stay tune everyone... Trieullionaire

Softail, Read post #56, second paragraph. Trieullionaire

The kit will soon be available for other Porsche models as well as other double din units (Apline, Eclipse, Kenwood, JVC, etc.). We have already manufactured the parts and will test fit them tomorrow. Trieullionaire

My brother-in-law, who came to visit this weekend, gave me an overview of the MOST-bus. He's an electrical engineer & did software implementation for the automotive industry (Delphi). His department worked on a platform similar to the MOST-bus but lost the race. Germany is the hot spot for the development & growth of MOST-bus technology. Sooner or later, all automotive manufacturer will move towards the MOST-bus, mainly due to cost(less wires), quality(zero static) & the sheer amount of data that can be transmitted digitally through a bandwidth. Vehicles nowadays come loaded with communication, GPS, ipod, video & other amenities that requires a MOST-bus without a whole lot of wiring. From what I understand, MOST-bus application is the same as Bluetooth (communication between devices) except with fiber optics. I ask him for some advice regarding new audio components & he said it's best if you want to do any installation now, to by-pass the whole MOST-bus. Eventually, they will develop head units based on this technology but for now, you're pretty much screwed! However, He mentioned that going analog isn't that bad either. Vehicles have been wired up the old school ways for decades. In addition to that, if your upgrading to some new speaker for example, why not re-wiring your speakers with a heavier gauge to channel more power & ground. From his personal experience, he has seen many guys upgrade to very expensive amps & speakers but go cheap on the wires. Big mistake I was told, pick the highest quality wirings with more that sufficient gauges to work with & the outcome will be resounding. He said you can buy quality head unit, amp & speakers and with the basic wiring technics & proper gauge wires, blow away the high end products in a heart beat. A great place to start is Clutchfield tech support (Interactive Support Center) to learn the basics to upgrading for example, an amp. You would be surprise what you might learn there. Well, gotta go & do a DIY on an amp. Trieullionaire The first pic is the rear of stereo CDR 23. The Most is the two orange wires. The second pic is the Bose amp (you still can notice the Most orange wires).

The climate control is actually designed to fit the lower of the two compartment (the compartment right above the bat wing). It slides in easy and is made to fit perfectly there, I was very tempted to go this route because all you need to do is bring the wires down and slide climate control right in and put on a trim piece. But yes, you can move the climate control to the same spot as in the picture. It requires some work though and might not be the easiest thing to do as you will need to modify the space to insert your climate control there. The outcome though is better ergonomics, its more accessible and completely visible since your gear lever shouldn't be in the way.

Hey guys, My brother just listed another 5 kits on Ebay, as the one he listed last night was sold by morning. He had mentioned we should have more coming next week for international folks interested in buying it as well. At any rate, links for the 5 listings are below: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI....cSELL.m315.lVI http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI....cSELL.m315.lVI http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI....cSELL.m315.lVI http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI....cSELL.m315.lVI http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI....cSELL.m315.lVI

My brother will be having more kits on EBAY tonight. He's also selling the kits in separate components for those that just want part of the kit. You can just email him too if you need a kit with a certified address through Paypal. Here's the email cvt929@yahoo.com

By the way, what is the image of? Is that the amp or the stereo. If not the stereo, is there a MOST bus going into the stereo? Does anyone know?

Thanks again.

"Buy It Now" for the KIT is coming next week to EBAY! :)

I will do a DIY on it when I get a chance. I'm up to my neck with mods right now. I installed the camera on the upper part of my license plate. If you pick a camera, be sure its a true wide angle. Don't buy the cheap stuff, you get what you pay for in most cases. I went with the 180 degrees camera. Be careful of some the threads telling you need to drill holes in your Porsche in order to get the wires to the rear. There are existing holes to run wires through, just have to get a little creative on how to get them through.

Don't listen to me, I don't even have a MOST bus. There are people with that kind of a setup that can give you more informed answers. The info I got was from a Clutchfield advisor but they have limited knowledge on the MOST bus, unlike some of our own members. But please keep this thread from cluttering up on the comments and use PM to communicate to one another. I like to keep this thread as lean as possible so everyone don't have to sniff through everything to find what they're looking for. Cheers, Trieullionaire

Thank you for the compliment as well as the great suggests. Marketing is not our strong suit, but I'll tell my brother to implement the changes you recommended ASAP. Trieullionaire

Thank you, I hope it will be of some help to people. I did hook up a backup camera with infrared night vision. Will I ever need it, NO, but it sound pretty cool! Learn a couple of tricks for camera hook up during install, I'll post some pics of it if you like. I will check for you about member pricing but I wouldn't count on it. Trieullionaire

Instructions, voila!

Pre-wiring instructions with photo 95% complete, I'll post it in a few hours.

Wow, I love this forum! You guys are the ****!

I did some searching and you're absolutely right. You're optic fiber bus leads to all of your speakers. You would have gut out the entire optic wiring, and replace the all the speakers as well in order to interface with the old school wire harnesses. A major undertaking IMO. I didn't realize you have the new optic fiber bus when I reply in the earlier post.
