Hi all,
Purchased my first Porsche in November, a 996 TURBO X50.
Just getting around to making a few modifications, or 'de-modifications' as the case may be.
My car was non sat nav with Bose from the factory, Porsche have advised me that the head unit was a CDR23.
A previous keeper has removed the Porsche head unit and fitted an ALPINE CDE-104BTi which I think looks naff, not to mention the sound quality being terrible.
I would rather just put it back to standard, and hopefully that would mean better sound quality.
Having spoke to several people about this, I needed to find out if the fibre optics had been retained or whether the speakers had been re-wired.
I've re-moved the head unit and it looks like the existing wiring has some form of adaptor fitted to it, please see pictures.
I would like to know whats involved in reverting back to factory?
Is it just a case of un-plugging the old, buying a second hand CDR-23 and plugging it in, or is it not that simple?
If not, what other options are available to me?
Thanks in advance
