Another Double Din Install...

[creekman]

Here's a pix of my GPS/Nav JVC install... I had to take the hard way and move the storage cubby to the bottom. To make it fit I sectioned the cubby, if you look closely you can see the part line where I took out about 1/4". I moved the seat heater switches to the horse shoe panel. I had 2 available switch positions, that took some doing to move the various switches around, but I'm happy with the results.

Update: I just remembered that we also upgraded the radio/DVD/i-Pod player amplifier. It wasn't that I had a choice, the new double din JVC unit does not support the Porsche factory fiber optic system, so we had to install an analog amp to work with the new double din unit. I guess the reason for this is that the aftermarket units would be more expensive if they used a fiber optic system. So that added time and expense, plus the new amp did not fit in the factory cradle so I fab up a new bracket. I then had to cut and fit the upholstery and the floorboard in the trunk. However the new amp really improved the sound quality of the system, I'm not sure if it was the amp, new player, or my imagination. My guy that helped me did say that people will upgrade their speakers when really you'll get more improvement by changing out the amp...

I installed the JVC mic through the existing factory mic position. I also measured and cut down both the GPS antenna and mic cables to get rid of the extra unused wiring.
