I didn't honestly see too many posts about 986's specifically, so I gave up. I have a single DIN aftermarket headunit that doesn't retain its settings when I turn the car off. Thought I would finally get around to pulling it out and trying to fix that, but man, having tighter connectivity with my iphone would be awesome!

How do I know if I have this "MOST" thing I'm seeing? I have an amp and a cd changer in the front trunk, and rear add-on speaker thing. I don't think I have a subwoofer anywhere that I know of. I have a '00 base model.

I might roll the dice on that cheapest one for $185 (2GB/32GB).

Do you have any direct links to any "plug and play" or wiring pics from that huge thread for the 986?


EDIT: dumb question, if I wanted up-to-date GPS on the headunit, which version would I need? Do i have to pay for cell service separately for it work? I don't know what the LT, LTE, non-LTE versions mean.
You don't have MOST so no worries there. Hopefully whoever installed your HU didn't get rid of the OEM wiring harness. If you have a "subwoofer", it is your door speakers.

If you look on the site where the unit is sold, you will see my review with a picture of my connection. I bought the one with more memory, it wasn't much more. I always figure more RAM and memory is always a good thing, but I have no idea whether or not it makes a difference but I will say my unit is very responsive, YMMV. As far as GPS goes, since you have an iPhone, you will be using your GPS in your phone. I am very happy with this unit, it looks great and works great! In fact CarPlay on this HU works better than the unit in my 2022 Honda Ridgeline.
