To some who don't think about it. Porsche Parts website does still have exploding diagrams for our cars. (I know this is obvious to many)
Though they may not sell a majority of them. Does still give you a good base to work off of with visual and part # to look for.

To those wanting to see how that double din bracket looks when installed. its a little dirty here and there i know that was just from install, took it before i actually DID clean it

The drive to work this morning, noticed the 2 outter LCDS finally caved. The left one showing miles had been out for a bit, oddly enough it still showed the miles and updated too if you held a light near it or the sun hit. So i wasnt really too concerned with replacing. Though the right showing time and oil life goin out is where i draw it lol. Looks like ill be on the hunt for some LCD replacements.
I wonder why itll still show the information, just without the bulbs LIT. ive swapped good bulbs in previously and still nothin so my guess is the screen itself.

Side note: the numbers look weird because the previous owner attempted to put a white conversion kit over the black. though it was poorly done and didnt line up, If i end up replacing the LCD's i might take that poorly done job off and either correct it or just remove it entirely to reveal the black.

That's great, but what is the link? I no longer see the PET when I attempt opening the page.

Another bit of useful information. For some weird reason, Porsche has fuses in A3 and A4 Marked down as only Side markers however if you ever have some issues with a taillight not working with good bulbs, check those 2 as they can be the culprit. A headlight switch can also be the reason for headlights / taillights not functioning properly.

Link provided for an AliExpress OEM Porsche PCCM / Double Din unit at a fraction of the price. Many on this forum purchased and had lots of success with this one directly, when wanting to avoid spending $1,000+ on one sold directly from Porsche.
