Hello, Has anyone seen the following problem with the driver's door/window? Normally, when you open the door, the window goes down a little bit and once you close the door the window goes back up to fit within the rubber frame. However, mine does not go down then when I close it the window instead of going into the rubber frame it goes on top of it and it rattles when I drive (so it's not closed properly). And the rocker-switch redlight stays on. So now whenever, I open the driver's door I put down the window a little bit and then once I close it I put the window back up. Is this a sensor problem? If yes, where is the sensor and is it hard to replace? Regards

Hi, Glad you could solve your issues. You mean Clarion will release a frame for the 996 in November? That is great! Who is your dealer? Hi, My dealer is Car Stereo Centrum in Bremen and their phone number is: +49 421 491 4445. Great guy btw, very friendly and helpful! I don't know if you find these in the US. Did you call Clarion? Regards

Hello, I just spoke to the Clarion dealer and he said: 1. The thin frame that goes around the unit will come from Porsche around Nov timeframe. So he knew that the one he gave me won't fit. 2. If I want a CD changer I'll have to get one from Clarion, the OEM one won't work with the MAX983. So I'll just use my iPod then. Thanks again for the help! Regards

Hello, I was wondering can I buy a good set of repair manuals and schematics for my 996 Turbo? Electronic format would be great. Thanks, Laurentiu

Hello, Thank you very much for the help and the schematic! I was able to install it and it works great, I love it! I still have a couple of small issues: 1. The plastic frame that goes around the Clarion seems to be too big. When I open up the unit to put a dvd in it, it catches the plastic frame and stop opening basically. It came with the MAX983HD from Clarion (in a different package though). So I don't understand how it's supposed to work because it seems too wide to allow the MAX983 to open. I wonder if it's for something else. 2. THe microphone from my car is missing unfortunately. I check bechind the round grill on the left where is supposed to be and it's nothing there. Weird. Perhaps I'll use the Clarion microphone. BTW, where to you hook up a cd changer to the MAX983HD? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Thanks, Laurentiu

Installing Pioneer AVIC-F90BT NAV into 2002 996 Turbo

Hello, I've received the MAX983HD yesterday and it's beautiful. Very very cool! I'm trying to install it and I've posted some questions in the DYI. Thanks for the advice. Best Regards I've posted the questions in the DYI section. -
Hello, I've received the MAX983HD yesterday and it's beautiful. I'm installing it right now and I have 3 questions: 1. Where is the GPS antenna hooked up? I can't find it on the PCM therefore I don't know what to connect to the Clarion. 2. Where is the microphone hooked up? Again, I can't find it on the PCM so I can't connect it to the Clarion. And where is the actual microphone inside the car? 3. Where is the CD changer hooked up? Again I can't find it on the PCM. If I find somewhere a PCM schematic it would be very very helpful, probably I could answere the above questions myself. My car is a 2002 Turbo and on the PCM I see the following: Typ: IDIS Model No: BE 2582 Serial No: 15010403 12 Volt EC 104 Thanks for any suggestions/pointers! Regards

Installing Pioneer AVIC-F90BT NAV into 2002 996 Turbo
my2002 replied to my2002's topic in 996 TT, 996 TT S, 996 GT2
Hi, When I was planning EXACTLY the same thing, I bought this: http://cgi.ebay.com/97-04-Porsche-996-Boxs...1QQcmdZViewItem. However, I found out that this is not very good for a car with PCM, it's much easier to use the existing parts already in the dash. If you have a car with the normal Becker fit, then this is the way to go. BTW, I dropped this idea and went Clarion when I found this: www.avic411.com, and learned about all the troubles that plagued the F series. Some of the problems were reportedly solved with Firmware update 1 (No 2 may be just lurking over the horizon, no one really knows) I never looked back, the Clarion MAX983HD (N/A in the US) is fantastic in all respects, and I keep reading terribly disapointing reports in that site, even after the firmware update.... I have posted a couple of nothes in the DIY section. Hi, You've convinced me!:) I looked at the MAX983HD and it's very very cool. Also, I've looked at your notes in the DIY section and they'll help me a lot, thanks! Now I'm looking to buy a unit around Bremen, Germany since I'll be there on Friday. Anyone knows where should I try? BTW, in DIY you mention "trillieunaire's kit". What is that? Also do I need any other kits or parts? Thank you! -
Hello, I'm buying a Pioneer F90BT for my 2002 996 Turbo. Do I need anything else (kits, adapters, antenna adapters, etc...) besides the actual NAV unit? Did anyone else try this NAV unit? BTW, I love all the stuff in it. Thanks!
