Hi Everyone, Just completed an install of a Pioneer P3100DVD in my 2002 996C4 Cab. A couple slight differences than installing an AVIC so I thought I would post in case anyone has any questions about installing this particular model using the Euro kit. (thanks trieullionaire!) This is the only thread I needed to get the HU in, up, and running flawlessly, thanks to everyone who has contributed to the board. My install was basic, I did not add BT or SAT which are add-ons to this model. I now have full iPod control w/video, DVD video and all the other basics. The unit itself is a huge upgrade from the Becker. Left everything else stock and it sounds multiple times better. I thought the speakers were weak but not after upgrading the HU! A couple of differences in the 3100 vs. the AVIC models: -To bypass you cannot just ground the parking brake wire like other HUs. The two solutions are to install a simple two line switch (run the parking brake wire to it and ground the other one - this is the method I did) Or you can use a 5 prong relay switch (there is a youtube video on how to do this - a little longer to create but no need to flick the switch to start the video!) -The 3100 doesn't have rca jacks for the speakers, you have to clip off the rca jacks on the euro it and manually connect) -No need for the heat shield on a 2002 996. The cupholder has a metal base. (saw this on a post here before I installed) Pretty straightforward install, my only grief was moving the wires for the HVAC down to the lower shelf (not much space in there - but it works and fits great) If anyone has any trouble with this particular AV unit, let me now! Warm regards, Larry :renntech:
