Anyone know how to remove the PCM/Radio console from 996?

I wish to attempt to install my iPod connector but have no idea how to get the PCM box out of the dash.

Thanks in advance - Jap

it really is dead simple

the horseshoe trim that goes round the pcm and up and round the air vents is held in place with clips

if you pull it firmly from the top the clips round the air vent will give and the whole section will come away

behind that you will see four retaining screws holding the pcm in place. simple undo those and the whole pcm unit will slide forward allowing you access to the rear of the unit.

If I had an Ipod I wouldnt up my Porsche to listen to it. Does that help?

I just want to listen to my music - particularly as the CD changer doesn't work - you'd think Porsche would have fitted a decent unit. If I want to listen to mechanical music I take my TVR Sagaris.
