Aftermarket Amplifier install keeping PCM 3 Bose head unit
#46
as i understand it from other forums, this is the only off the shelf solution that enables you to go back to the OEM headunit at a later stage:

Serg, obviously you've done a ton of work reverse engineering the Porsche audio system. I've read the .1 to .2 conversion, which is a total nightmare. This seems like child's play by comparison. That harness and plugs is a well done conversion. The real complexity is knowing which pins are which outputs. Such a harness would vastly simplify an aftermarket amp install. Someone could easily sell that wired $25 plug for $100 on the US market.

If anyone has their US version PCM with Bose pulled, please see if the pins highlighted by Serg exist on your PCM. If I remember correctly there was no pins on my PCM where that plug goes. (Which could explain why none of these aftermarket harnesses are available in the US.)

I replaced the head unit, amplifier, speakers and subwoofer with zero weight penalty. In fact I saved a couple of pounds. The only compromise is no nav gauge integration which I never used anyway.
I wish I did it earlier as the difference is extreme.
I'll provide details soon, but it can be done in a way that is completely reversible without permanent mods nor compromise.

Serg, I see on your head unit, the unit is made by Becker. Does it also say "Bose" on the system anywhere?

you do realize this thread is 2 years old right?

You can use an Audison Prima line amp/dsp like AP8.9bit (3 years late)
