My 996 has a very expensive Alpine double din unit installed by a PO. It is a hunk of do do. Alpine has some built in safety thing that requires engaging the parking brake if you wish to access the settings menu. There is an optical trigger work around but somehow mine has come unhooked or something. So I get to listen to treble only and can't adjust anything. Plus the volume is a couple of buttons. Can't believe someone paid about $1,300 for this thing.
