Remote control in a 944

Here I show how to install a remote for iPod w/Dock-connector in a Porsche 944 (2nd Gen.,the ones w/the oval Dashboard.
iPod is connected via FM-transmitter and hid (when in car) in center armrest.
My wife does not like all the music I like,i.e. Country.
So I decided to install a remote in case she might want to skip to next Song. I must concentrate on the road, not look for Songs or argue w/my sweety.

I bought some of this foam products but don t remember the name.
I cut out the right form to fit the iPod and hold the transmitter.
But his tutorial is onlyabout the remote(sorry for the dirt)
But now to list.
You ll need:

*iPod
*remote
*Screwdriver
*cutter
*glue (the best these heated glues)
*Porsche 944

Step 1 Getting out console

Get to the car.

Remove the radio.

Remove the ashtray.

Remove the armrest by unscrewing the 2 bigger screws at the end of it and the 2 small ones where the ashtray was.

Remove the console with its switches by unscrewing the 2 screws near ashtray and 2 near Radio.
Disconnect the switches.

Leave car ;-)

No, does not. But with the iPod touch there is no need :-)

Ah, good to see another 944 owner. Mine is a Black 944.

[Holy_Simon]

Welcome. I own mine more than 11 years. Still feels freedom :-)

Damn, I thought you were going to show how to rig the car itself for remote driving. That would be sweet. A little scary, but sweet.

[Holy_Simon]

[Yerboogieman]

thats nothing, 89' Toyota corolla STATION WAGON with 306826 miles on it, same stock engine, still works, lmao

[hondagofast]

Mine has the same stock engine, but a broken clutch... :-P The fluid reservoir exploded when I was moving the car once. Hydraulic fluid was all over the inside of the engine bay...

[Yerboogieman]

that sucks, the timing is off on my corolla and thats about it, i installed a 3000 watt soundstream Rubicon 405 amplifier, 4 diamond audio crossovers, 4 diamond audio speakers, 4 100 watt tweeters, 2 700 watt kicker 12" subwoofers and an alpine deck

Well,Im not too lucky. An old neighbour of mine crashed into my left fender while Porsche was parked.
That guy don´t wanna pay, so I`ll have to wait til my lawyer gets it right...
By the way, my car has covered more than 400.000 km

[Esmagamus]

So what? My brother's Citroen ZX has covered 380 000 km and didn't cost a tenth of that.
