- This video shows you how to install the head unit from Aliexpress on a 2005 Porsche 911 997 Carerra S. This thing is a great upgrade from the stock unit while keeping the stock look but adding a TON of features like Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, not to mention apps like UA-cam TV! Love this thing and it's an easy Plug-N-Play install.
Head Unit: www.aliexpress...
This is the version I bought: "7862 720P Auto Android 13 12G+256G Car Radio GPS Player 4GB Carplay Navigation autoradio For Porsche Cayman 911 987 Boxster 997"

Two problems you will run into with BOSE, you lose the front to rear fade feature, to solve this you need to run an additional RCA to the amp and splice in. Secondly the output of the android unit is too low and you lose a lot of top end volume, again to help this add in a line driver to boost output to the amp. I've done a full write up on these issues if your interested.
+@MyBoyzToyz I don’t have the Bose, but thanks for the extra info 🍻
It's sloooow to start up but looks good.
+@YogisGarage it’s usually ready to play music by the time I get it started up and out of the garage.
Very nicely done install. Looks great. It did not go unnoticed what game you were watching - I knew you were a closet Alabama fan at heart 😂. RTR!
+@SM-yf2ej never! 🐊 😝
Thanks very much for yet another very helpful video. Much appreciated. Do you know whether the unit you received was the silver one or the grey? Thanks
+@pjay3028 you’re welcome! Unfortunately I don’t know which they sent.
I know the audio system that has Bose is outfitted with fiberoptic, but didn't know they had it setup even without Bose being installed. My 2010 Cayman S 2nd gen is equipped with Bose and my audio system is different from the one you removed; (gen1 vs gen 2). I didn't opt for the navigation system at the time, as I knew you had to buy cd's and knew they would be shortly outdated anyway. Looks like the upgrade worked out for you.
+@warrenlucier5796 yes, it’s great!
I know nothing about these units, but I did see another video where the GPS unit and the other one (I forget) with the double sided tape just stick to the top of the unit itself. Not up to the dash or anywhere else. They stay with the unit. I suppose you could stick them anywhere however.
+@aboyandhisdog yes that’s right. 🍻
Did you attach the blue wire coming from your antenna wire to anything? It has a clear sheath around it.
+@prestoshredz nope
Aaron, being a non-tech kind of guy, how in the heck do you choose from the 23 models offered on the Aliexpress website? I can't tell the difference between them. I can eliminate the Bose units, but that still leaves 19 or so to choose from. Help! - this is all Greek to me! -Tom
+@aboyandhisdog haha I hear you! I was the same way. I tried to link the one I bought.
You have to turn the volumn of the stock head unit all the way up before you disconnect. Else the volume of navigation and audio will be wonky. IE music is loud then navigation is really low and you can't adjust it to a meaningful level. Ask me how I know.
+@HuyNguyen-ed6no maybe that’s why CarPlay reading my texts is really quiet? Haven’t tried to adjust it yet though. I don’t plan on using the built in navigation, but I think I remember trying it once and hearing normal sounding volumes every time I exceeded the speed limit 😂
Nobody buys a Porsche to watch videos😂
+@niacal4nia probably not, but everyone likes options!
