Can anyone comment on the PCCM system that's available?

Hi there folks, I am very new to the site. I wanted to upgrade my system (PCM) without getting rid of the original equipment. I purchased an upgrade for the original unit from NM Automotive. (Specialist Porsche Independent) PCM CarPlay and Android Auto Kit. By the way I own a 2011-911 Carrera. This system brings your unit to a whole new level, I was even able to install a reverse camera. If you are handy you can install it yourself. It connects easily to my phone via bluetooth and you can switch back and forth from the regular system to the CarPlay as desired. Great options for those that who want to keep the car original. Comes with everything you need, no welding or cutting, all plug and play. You do have to remove the unit.

Thank you for the feedback - many are wanting to make changes and that kind of info really helps!

There have been others who have commented here on those kinds of upgrades, so your experience will be beneficial to others.

By the way, welcome to Carpokes!

Hi there first time poster here. Also own a 2002 996TT and I am in the process of researching stereo options for my car. I have the factory PCM 1 cassette head unit with navigation module in dash, Bose speakers and subwoofer and CD changer. I really like the porsche classic option. My only complaint is that there is no input for rear view camera. This my 5th Porsche and my favorite so far. It’s my dream car really. I have been after a TT for a long time and had the opportunity to pick this car up a year ago today.

Another quick note on the PCCM plus radio option according to the vendor I spoke to about it unless it’s installed by a Porsche dealer there is no support from porsche on the radio.
