Does this disk work with the pre-2009 PCM?
-
Looks like a basic FM modulator. I have a similar unit installed and it is OK quality (not quite CD quality). I usually listen to podcasts and audiobooks so not having CD quality is ok. For music, the sound quality is similar to FM radio (maybe a little quieter). I suggest getting one with RDS so the artist and track info is shown on the display. Here is the one I installed: Dice Universal iPod adapter

PIWIS help for retrofit PCM/NAV
jonskiv replied to jonskiv's topic in 987-1 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Thanks, Berty. I appreciate your knowledge base in this area. As I recall there are arrow indicators on the cable, each indicating pairs: (1-2); (2-3); and (3-1), with the long cable being (2-3), so I assumed that went to the AMP. I connected (1-2) to the most connector behind the brake booster, (2-3) to the AMP, and (3-1) to the DVD. I don't have a cd-changer. As far as updating the firmware of the DVD, the dealer tech didn't know whether it could be done on my amp. Will the serial # of the amp allow me to determine if I can update it to level C? And if so, which update disks should I obtain? Thanks for your help. Jon -
I recently retrofitted a PCM/NAV unit from a '07 997 to my '05 987 Boxster. Everything was operational even w/o coding, but I went to the dealership today to have it coded for my car and to remove the reference to the CD changer and remove the /!\ Warning triangle for different target/found AMP (the amp from my original car). In the system info, it is expecting the 17600/3105, but my exisitng amp is a 17500/3504. They were able to handle a bulk of the coding but were unable to reset the AMP warning sign. Also, the DVD doesn't have a "target" identified. They seemed to be at a loss, so I thought I would check with the experts on this board to see if this is resolvable with the PIWIS. Please chime in if you think I can get these issues resolved w/o hardware replacement. If possible, please let me know the menu path so I can direct them accordingly. Thanks. Here are a few screen shots:
