Ok I bought a 2001 996 carrera4 cab. Ebay item #4574712440. I also bought a nav system from a 2000 996 ebay item #8001975202. Need to know if this can be installed w/o modifications. I do have the BOSE system. Is this going to be a hassle? Anyone in san diego that can do this? Really need to know before I start. Eli

navtec doesnt supply new maps for pcm1 so adding one is a waste of money. installation isn't plug n play as the gps wiring and antennae is time consuming. boe wasn't offere in 01 only 02. better off w aftermarket gps from kenwood, pioneer or eclipe. they have touchscreen

pcm1 has tape deck and uses 8 cd's instead of 2 cd's

pcm2 is for 03+ which uses MOST fiber optic and is not compatible w 99-02. it is still a cumberson unit

Eclipse has an in dash unit that has all the dvd drives, gps antennae, cd drive all in one HU. It's the easiest to install but it still takes 4 hr min. If you like the in dash display (as opposed to flip out screen), consider this one. You get DVD nav, dvd movie playback, touchscreen, split screen nav mode. It's the same system in a Lexus. You can also add bluetooth if so desired. The unit, when done, will be around 2500 installed and will be better than any german nav out there.
