Choosing the Right Fit for Your Porsche

Where Connects2 is listed for Porsche, use the supplied model coverage and OE references to confirm suitability. Check details that commonly affect fitment such as model year, side/position, and connector type where relevant.

• Typical reasons to choose these parts include adding Bluetooth, DAB, or modern head units, and retaining steering wheel controls or factory amplifiers without cutting the original loom.
• Common symptoms that may prompt replacement include no sound on some channels, intermittent connection, steering wheel controls not responding, buzzing/ground loop noise, or poor radio reception.
• Before ordering, confirm the exact Porsche PCM/head unit generation and audio system type (standard, Bose, MOST, active), as this often determines the correct interface or adaptor.
• After installation, check for stable power, correct shutdown (no battery drain), and full operation of controls to ensure the chosen Connects2 solution is correctly matched.

Incar / Multimedia — Connects2 multimedia and integration parts for Porsche are typically used when upgrading or repairing in-car entertainment, adding features like Bluetooth, CarPlay/Android Auto or DAB, or improving sound quality while keeping a clean, factory-style installation where listed.

• Check whether your Porsche uses standard audio, Bose or a MOST fibre system so the correct interface or harness can be selected.
• If you experience no or intermittent audio, poor reception, or frozen head units, inspect existing modules and wiring before adding new components.

Harness Factory To After Market — These Connects2 harnesses link Porsche factory wiring to aftermarket head units or amplifiers, helping to preserve the original loom and reduce the need for cutting or splicing when carrying out multimedia upgrades where applicable.

• Use a harness matched to your car’s year, connector type and audio package to avoid CAN faults, loss of presets, or missing amplifier turn-on signals.
• If a previous install has been “hard-wired”, replacing damaged or improvised wiring with a proper harness can help resolve intermittent power, sound issues, and electrical gremlins.

Fascia Kit — Connects2 fascia kits are designed to help mount aftermarket head units neatly in Porsche dashboards, filling gaps and aligning the unit so that the final result looks as close to OEM as possible where model-specific kits are available.

• Choose a fascia that matches the original aperture (single or double DIN) and finish to reduce rattles, gaps, and misalignment around the new head unit.
• When changing from factory PCM to an aftermarket unit, plan the fascia, brackets and cage together to maintain stable, squeak-free mounting.

Active System Adaptor — These adaptors allow aftermarket head units to work with Porsche active or amplified sound systems, helping to manage signal levels and retain factory amplifiers and speakers where supported.

• Confirm if your Porsche has an active or amplified system (including Bose or similar) so that the adaptor can supply the correct line-level signals.
• If volume is very low, distorted, or certain channels are missing after a head unit swap, review the active system adaptor choice and grounding before replacing other components.

Add-ON DAB — Connects2 add-on DAB products provide digital radio reception for Porsche interiors where you want to keep the original head unit but gain access to DAB/DAB+ and a wider station choice, where compatible kits are listed.

• For best reception, pair the add-on DAB module with a suitable DAB antenna and follow recommended mounting locations on glass or bodywork.
• If digital stations frequently drop out, revisit antenna placement, routing, and grounding rather than assuming a fault with the head unit itself.
