Double Din HU Install Help

[capthale]

Hello, I am new to the porsche world. 2001 986 base. Local audio shop wants 2k to convert to double din, this sounds crazy to me. I already have relocated ac controls up one spot on lower console and replaced cd rack with cubby. Any advice is greatly appreciated. I will also be adding body kit, I can have it painted free so im hoping to find what kit or manufacturer the is the best with direct fit no mods. Thanks.

That seems insane. I had mine done late last year. I provided the head unit, Eurospeed install kit and the cubby, and the total bill was less than $250. Mine was in a 2002 Bose (non-MOST) car.

Hey...getting to this late. Hopefully you didn't buy the euro motorspeed kit. This is what I bought:

Double Din kit Pioneer ADT-133 = $40 (off ebay)
Installation Kit (Ant Adapter, Metra 70-1787, radio keys) = $26.81 (amazon)
AC Bezel = $12 (Suncoast)
ABS Sheet = $10
Insulation Foil = $5
Porsche sticker = $10(?) (off ebay)

As you can see, under $100, you can get a kit that is the same as the $250 kit. Labor is free

I can send you the instructions if you need.

Looks like the DD ADT-133 is $32.98 at Amazon, even better. Great post by the way

I'm hoping to do this later this summer. Do you have any pictures of your setup?
