New: Porsche Classic

Porsche PCCM Plus — CarPlay for an older Porsche

Some cars have no factory screen worth integrating into — an older 911 or Boxster came with a cassette or CD head unit, and a modern aftermarket stereo ruins the interior. Porsche’s own answer is PCCM Plus: a head unit built by Porsche Classic that drops into the original aperture and looks like it left the factory that way.

What it is

A 7-inch touchscreen unit from Porsche Classic — genuine Porsche, not a copy — designed for the double-DIN aperture in the cars below. Period-correct styling, so the dashboard still reads as original.

What you get

Apple CarPlay, navigation with 3D maps, DAB+ radio, Bluetooth hands-free and audio streaming, USB and AUX, and an input for a reversing camera if you want one added.

How it fits

Into the existing aperture using the car’s own wiring — no cutting, no trim damage, and entirely reversible. Your original unit comes back to you.

Which Porsches it suits

PCCM Plus is the double-DIN unit, and it is a Gen 1 part: the 911 (996 and 997.1), Boxster (986 and 987.1) and Cayman (987.1). Gen 2 cars from 2009 came with PCM 3.0 or 3.1 and take a CarPlay retrofit into that screen instead. Air-cooled and earlier cars — 911 up to 993, 924, 944, 968 and 928 — take the single-DIN PCCM instead. Send us a photo of your centre console and we’ll tell you which one your car takes.

£1,799.99 supplied and fitted

Questions

Frequently asked

Can I get CarPlay in an older Porsche with no screen?
Yes — with Porsche’s own PCCM Plus head unit, which replaces the original radio in a 996 or 997.1 911, a 986 or 987.1 Boxster, or a 987.1 Cayman — Gen 1 cars only. It gives you Apple CarPlay, navigation, DAB+ and Bluetooth behind a period-correct fascia, and it is £1,799.99 supplied and fitted. Earlier and air-cooled cars take the single-DIN PCCM version instead — send us a photo of your console and we will confirm which fits.
Do you retrofit CarPlay for BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Porsche?
Yes — we retrofit wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto into BMW iDrive (CIC, NBT, EVO), Mercedes COMAND & MBUX, Audi MMI, Volkswagen MIB, Porsche PCM and Bentley, plus McLaren, Aston Martin and Ferrari. We integrate with your factory screen and controls for an OEM-clean result.
Will it look aftermarket?
No. We integrate with your factory screen and controls so the result looks and feels original — simply with CarPlay and Android Auto added.
Is the installation reversible?
Yes. Our retrofits are clean and reversible, with no permanent changes to your vehicle’s wiring.
Which cars can you upgrade?
Most prestige models from the last decade that have a factory screen. Tell us your make, model and year and we’ll confirm compatibility.
Can you keep my reversing camera?
In most cases yes — we retain and integrate existing reversing and front cameras where the system supports it.
