Thanks,

Yes, the kit will work.

Hi, Fragdude, I just installed the GPS aqntenna under the alarm light. I find it easy to do. Some are saying that it is difficult to pop out the plastic cover... mine was really easy. I then cut the plastic surounding the light to have the wire passing. Then I passed the wire directly from there to the radio. Was easy and great looking. do not hesitate to contact me if any question. i just installed the D3 with the same kit.

Thanks for the answer!

That seems to be where the stock antenna goes. I'm not gonna be doing it anytime soon (I can think if a better way to spend a grand right now!), but if/when I do and I have questions I will

Just type in "Porsche double din kit" on Ebay's search field & you should be able to find us (or email us at cvt929@yahoo.com for more information).

Best Wishes,

Beautiful install! I picked up the 'universal' dash kit a few weeks back on eBay in anticipation of emulating this setup, and just picked up a Kenwood DNX-8120. Is there anything else I will need before I get started?
I found the upper storage slot on Suncoast's website (I am removing the useless CD holder, and it appears the lower storage bin is not shaped correctly to be moved up), but where do I find the trim for A/C to go into the lowest slot? I'd prefer not to cut my stock trim in case I ever want to go back to stock.

I'll post pics of the install once I get started.

Hey Bry,

You can get the trim piece for the lower ac trim from our Ebay store, stores.ebay.com/Euromotorspeed. Shoot an email over to cvt929@yahoo.com, we do offer discounts to 986forum members. The link below takes you directly to the item if you want to see what it looks like.

Anybody watching the boards today? I'm sooo close to finishing this project, but ran into a snag.
I've got my Kenwood DNX-8120 ready to mount up in the dash... but when I fired it up to test, everything works except sound. I hear absolutely nothing, from any input.
I planned to use the stock amplifier and I've followed the instructions for the AVIC install to a tee so currently I have the front and rear preouts wired to connector A.
I initially didn't have the MUTE line grounded, but do now and still hear nothing. There's still a labeled wire in the Kenwood's bundle called EXT CONT that isn't attached to anything... Should it be? what's it do??

- TIA & FINISHED PICS TO COME VERY SOON, I HOPE! -
