As long as you dont want a nice Porsche badge on the bezel there is nothing wrong with the Connects2 Kit.

I posted a picture of the fitted unit a few months ago on this thread so have a look if interested.

I think people dont consider how much weight a double din unit is - as with several installs (with both kits) I have seen the kit has insufficient support and the head unit ends up sagging in the dash, meaning usually the bottom of the unit sits further out than the top.

Thanks for that. I have just installed the amp, routed the cables into the cabin and swapped the dash speakers. Will do the head unit over the weekend.

I have the Pio SGH-DA100 AppRadio which is quite light as it has no optical drive so I am not too worried about sagging but I will find some way to support it other than just the cage.
