Opinion question on 996 radio/interior


Recommended Posts

I bought a 996 c2 convertible with ~100K miles on it pretty cheap a few months ago.  Top/windows were a hot mess, thus the price.  I kept it in the garage and fixed all of that. 

 

It has reverse parking sensors and PCM-1.  I would like to add bluetooth to it and leave it stock.  Temporarily I have a bluetooth cassette adapter that sounds tinny.  I ended up getting frustrated with my boxster and did the GT3 delete, new marine head unit, and new speakers.  

 

 

I like the authenticity of the PCM (who had gps back in 1999?) and it displays a lot of computer data like gas mileage.  Also the delete piece only comes in black, red, or tan now, and the interior is grey.  And replacing the dash speakers sucks.  

 

 

Any opinion on which way to go?  Or suggestions on better bluetooth solutions?  I had the rennkit thing, and that's crap.

The answer here is NOT the PCCM+.  That head unit is hot trash, especially for $1200.  No OBC, volume controls are terrible, sound is worse, have to manually reconnect the bluetooth every time I use the USB, poor installation instructions, some cables are inches too short, while other cables (mic) are 10 feet too long, I can not read it at all with my sunglasses on, and I can't hear it with the top down!!!
