Before the summer I saw one of their head units in a 997 and talked to the owner. It looked stock and was way cheaper than the PCCM+. So I got in touch with one of the sellers on Aliexpress.
They said they were working on a 986/996 version but had run into some problems, so they could use an original Porsche unit in order to get the dimensions perfect. I had already replaced mine with an Android unit, so I shipped my PCM1 to China. In return I got one of their new head units as well as my old one back.

It has a 7" 1024x600 pixel displa and physical buttons. They used the same buttons as they already had on the 987/997 version. It might have been nicer if they had replaced them with round/oval, gloss black buttons, like the 986/996 have. But it still looks great.

There are several version you can get, but I have an 8 core CPU, 6GB RAM, 128GB ROM, 4G/LTE and they even gave me a reverse camera, that I haven't plugged in.

Wow, that looks great! I have been trying to decide on a new HU for some time. How is the screen with the top down and some sun?

Edit: So after doing some reading on Rennlist I ordered one. I ordered the one with the most ram, extra memory never hurts. Now the wait…
