Hi all,
I've got a (fairly new to me) .1 GT3 and was looking to upgrade the audio. I thought that only Bose Sound System cars came with fibre-optic audio output from the head unit. I've not seen any Bose branding in my car and I don't think they get fitted to GT3s anyway. However, I've just removed my head unit and was a bit surprised to see a fibre optic connector. Did all the cars come with these?
My car has the clunky old PCCM fitted and I've just bought one of those Aliexpress Android head units to replace it with. Being a GT3 I'm not that bothered about sound quality, but I would like to run Waze and use Spotify. Was looking for something relatively simple to fit and it advertised as being plug-and-play with a non-base system, but I'm not sure the harness it comes with is plug compatible with my PCCM. So I'm a bit confused now. I'm thinking that I now need a fibre-optic audio convertor (I see there are a few for sale, such as the one from MOST) and make up a loom. Can I buy female connectors for the PCCM loom and where can I can the pin out from?
Thanks for any help!
Cheers
Andy
