Traffic Pro Install in '03

[Jean-Marc]

I have read that there are issue with the new MOS bus and "standard" equipment.

Thanks ;)

I don't know if Karl has done this yet on his new GT3 or not... hopefully he will respond also.

I think you will need to treat the Traffic Pro like a 3rd party radio. That is, you (actually your dealer) will need to tell your MOST bus controller that you have no radio (no radio on the MOST bus). Then you will need to wire the radio as normal to the speakers etc. If your current system has an amp or Bose/Harmon sound system that is on the MOST bus there may need to be other changes - like wiring these into the radio and turning them off in the MOST controller.

Doesn't sound good at all... Does it mean that I cannot use any of the harnesses that are in the car now and that I need to recreate a whole new harness?

It depends on what options you have. Some use the MOST bus extensively and some do not.

Besides the CDR 23 what options does your car have? telephone? PCM2? Bose Sound? Harman Sound? CD Changer? Amp?

If you don't know then post your M option codes.

I have not bought the car yet and I am considering 2 cars actually. Anyway, the options on both cars are:

Litronics, electric seats, PSM, 18" Carrera wheels, heated seats, HIFI sound (which I REALLY DO NOT WANT) and metallic silver...

Doesn't seem like any of that would require to go through a bus... I do plan to hardwire a Motorola V60 phone to Traffic Pro if I can install it

Traffic Pro is not compatible with the 2003 MOST bus system. Jeff

[Jean-Marc]

Can you say more?

[Tool Pants]

Not really. Go to a dealer and get the 2003 tequipment catalog for the 996 or the Boxster. They both say it is not compatible. Same info on the Becker board.
