What dash face Is this?

My dash face isn't like this, looks much different but since I'm doing a Dash installed tablet for navigation, Fm, music, media, and even obd2 data. But molding the non flat form is provided to be difficult, I saw this in a 911 and had to have it. Any ideas what specific platform this is?

Dash Face
 

Hello,
That Horseshoe Face looks exactly from an 03-04 986. Let me know if you need one i can send you a photo first.
thx

Yes, '03-04 ... note the glovebox

Do those newer 986s have gloveboxes? I've seen the glove box on 996s and was thinking since my 01 doesnt have it, there would be an empty space behind the dash.

Mine is a 2003, below is a photo.

You can retrofit the dash off these onto yours so there must be a space behind your dash.

The aluminum cross beams are different on 03-04. You might be able to cut your 97-02 to fit. Where ever you get dash should have the beams too though. Replacing the key cylinder on the glove box is nearly impossible from what I've heard.

its actually a 996 as it does not have a convertible top switch and has an oil pressure gauge in the cluster

True, but 986 03-04 is the same

Yeah well switches can be removed and added. I knew it was 996 like i originally stated, I took the pic, just didn't know if it was a special year or package that came with it.

Does anyone have images of it taken apart? My whole unit is 3pc, the vent housing that screws to the dash and the 2 small trim pieces. I need to know all what to get to switch.

Are you changing to this because you like it better? There are a few members that have done this install with the 3 piece unit in our cars. Some with IPad minis. I used a Nexus 7.

For one thing, the ducting that inserts into the hvac system is different, as are the grilles.

I'd like to convert to the '03-'04 system as well as it's the only way you'll get double din plus cupholders.

Qualityporscheparts in ABQ has a bunch of the required components recently listed on eBay. http://stores.ebay.com/Quality-Porsche-Parts/_i.html?_nkw=49%2C637&submit=Search&_sid=853166208

I have a Galaxy Tab S 8.4. Used to have a nexus 7 running USB Rom in my Jeep. I want this dash panel because it's flat where the tablets Fifield Dash kit would have to be molded. The 3pc dash panel of the 01 is rounded so molding and sanding is a pita. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11...1826c2f990.jpg
I'm positive I'll get it, but I'm changing things to use the Fifield Slidell Dash Kit so I'd rather it just work right.

97-02 986 on the left
03-04 in the middle
00 996 on the right. It's kind of like a mix of the two boxsters

Yah, I'm here in Abq, but QPP doesn't have the whole unit. They have the vent and the face... I'm ok with the vent not fitting the 01, I can mold that plastic easy to form fit.

Yah QPP has the one on the right and the middle... Well they have the face plate mated with the vents, but not the frame that screws to the car. Might just try the right one, it looks flat, easier to mold a flat panel to a flat panel than to a round panel. Call me Lazy.

I'll get some practice with a 7in Nexus 7 in a BMW 740il tomorrow.

The kit's work well, but I just went with some sanding, glue and Velcro. I used a special kernel, and some software, with a Y cable, so I could charge and use my USB drive for extra storage at the same time.
Started out with this.

Ended up with this.

See I got too much in a hurry and not enough money for the Fifield kit, so I tried an otterbox. But f that.

I also had a 5.1 DAC and resoldered the volume knob into the panel.

It's a first gen Nexus 7. Works really well. And you can get them used for a great price! I paid $60 for mine.

We just got this one for the BMW for 130. 2nd gen 32 4glte. We didn't know it was the nice one till after we bought it yesterday.

Are you running the newest version 3 USB ROM? I can't get in touch with Timur and don't wanna pay if we never get software.

Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk

No, I'm not running the USB ROM. I have the setup, in the video below. I use a program called Power Event Manager, that puts the tablet in airplane mode, and deep sleep, when I turn the car off, and wakes it up, when I start her up. Works great, and all the software is free.

Oh, try Sony Smart Connect, it's a tad better. Also mated with a very small app called Sleep and, Stay On. I liked event manager because it allows multiple apps to be launched but it didn't work out well enough. That's what I'm using on my Tab S since there is no USB Rom Kernel for the Tab S, I've emailed Timur offering cash for the source code so I can have one of my developer buddies port it over. NOTHING beats it. I understand the Bs paying for it, I don't wanna pay for it, but it's well worth the 16us dollars. I ran it on my 1st Gen Nexus 7 in my Jeep, it's phenomenal on what it can do. It totally turns the tablet into an OEM car radio. Reverse camera, special mods to make it look like it came with the car from the factory.

Were going to purchase it for the 2013 and 2012 since I'm going to do a Fifield install on a G35 after this, guy is going to buy me the Fifield Dash Kit for my Tab S for doing his install. If your interested PM me and I'll email you the newest copy for yours if you Wanna play with it.

I've done soo many tablets lol, GT7", Kindle Fire 7 I was the leader of the OTG charging development, Kindle Fire HDX is awesome and fits the Porsche without any mods or kit, and is super powerful. Dell Venue 8 Pro was fun but not perfect for in the car without a front end.

I think I might have a copy of the 2012 USB ROM, for the second gen tablet, if you want it.

Do you know what release? I'd love that. Would save me some trouble in the future. I should have stayed on top of it but ever expected to mess with the N7 anymore.

Oh the most recent for it. Yes I'd love it man. If you need just email it to me jagray85@gmail.com. I'll upload it to my cloud to keep.

Sent. Let me know if/when you get it.

This thread is available under Porsche on Flipboard

How did you build this interface?

That is Kodi using the car PC touch skin and my Porsche design mods like the BoxsterS logo replacing the Kodi logo and the Porsche logo and Porsche backgrounds I designed. However Kodi doesn't work well with Android in car. It was made for the RaspberryPi. When shutting off car, it keeps playing unless it's a video. I've been trying to find ways to mod Kodi to pause/play playback of what it was on with a power event change, but it won't work.
