    Porsche Classic Radio w/Apple CarPlay installed in 92 e30 convertible

    If you ever wanted to see what a Porsche Classic Radio looked like in an e30, well, here you go…

    Wants:
    - Apple Car play (yes I know the screen is smaller than the iPhone), but whatever
    - Something that sorta looked like it belonged in the car. I considered the Continental and Blaukpunkt units, but this is kinda of cooler. The Kenwood unit that was in here was straight out of the future…

    I also made use of the 2 empty dash panels next to the hazard/defrost switches, by adding in a USB charging port, and microphone for the radio.
    The Porsche unit has "Porsche" in the middle of the unit. My shop, Sound-in-Motion, in Boston removes the logo and installs these in non-Porsche cars with single DIN radios all the time...

    Parts list:

      Wow, that actually sort of fits with the rest of the interior. Faceplate texture is a bit off, but still. Not a bad match for the interior

          Porsche designed the system for their old cars to match the interior, so fits surprisingly well. I saw one in an e36 once that looked nice too. The color of the faceplate looked better... but had the Porsche logo on, so I had the faceplate painted to remove the logo, which killed some of the finish a bit...

                              Looks pretty cool! How do you find pressing the buttons on the screen etc? They look quite small but otherwise I think this is a great mod!

                                      A little late for you, but you can get the Porsche script off the top without damaging the finish with a little goo-gone or diluted acetone
