Dual DIN stereo/navigation in a 996 ?

[siddharth]

Hi,

I was about to get a PCM 2 module from a 2003(?) turbo for $400 but the guy gave it to his cousin :( !

Anyway so that leaves me with this option .... I'm thinking of installing a dual DIN (double the height of a "regular" stereo) system replacing my current becker CDR-210. I'm ready to moving the AC controls lower (the cd trays area or the empty storage area) so that I can have an open area to accomodate the dual DIN unit.

How do I do this and what parts would I need ?

BTW, I'm thinking of the Eclipse AVN5435 system. Any other recommendations ?

I'm staying away from single DIN navigation systems since I think its pretty shabby to have a screen roll out and fold up. Prefer a cleaner solution.

cheers ! :cheers:

Anyone ?

Wow ... I cannot believe nobody at renntech has tried this before ??!!

No offense meant to anyone, but does becoming a paying member improve my chances that someone replies ?

Well, everyone contributing or not can use the Search feature here... and when I searched for "double DIN" I got 17 results. Try looking a little further or use search before you complain... ;)

Aaagh ! I hate this ! I was searching for "dual DIN" ... and the only result was my original question itself ! searching for DUAL (not double) DIN brings up the goodies !!

Thanks Loren and sorry for "complaining" !!
