Going to have the 120 installed in my Porsche C4S (2004). Have the DIN Kit, the camera and the XM tuner to go along with the unit. anything I should make sure the installer know? any gotcha's? Any input from other 911 996 installs apprecaited!

That they dont get to test it by driving around the block. :twisted:

Not sure if you plan on leveraging the factory amp, or if you are installing all new components with your head unit. There is an item available that will allow you to use the factory components. The problem lies with the fact that Porsche uses an optical wiring system. You either need to bypass that system completely, or purchase a bridge to hook into it.

What year is your 911? I just put the z120bt in my 2007 Cayman S...

Its a 2004 911 Carrera C4S

Could you tell me about this bridge for the amp? Thanks

I'd bypass the amp. I did not see any bridge available for your car.

Hello,

Would any one help me with all information available to install and bypass the optical fiber for 2003 Porsche C4S. I am planning to install either x940bt and z130bt to me car.

He is well regarded on all the Porsche web sites (RennList, 986forun, planet-9,....) He'll help you bypass the optical adapter too. He has great phone support. Suncoast Porsche also resells his products, but you'll get the best service support going directly to him. I'd recommend contacting him directly before buying anything so he can tell you what you'll need. Call him (Loi) at 877-408-3876. I think this is his cell - he's quickly available for help.

As an example of his products and support, here's a thread on Planet-9 (987 though - not a 911), but you'll get an idea of his support and the high regard he has with this community. BTW, he is a Porsche owner (987).  http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-boxster-electronics/56234-latest-head-unit-replacement-avic-120bt.html
