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

[sna77]

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...

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...

huh? I’m showing what I did to my personal car and what parts I used. That’s literally what these forums are for…

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

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!

Not too bad actually... i usually just enter an address in Google maps and put a playlist on spotify and go

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
