Afternoon all
I've put a brief post introducing myself in the newbie forum, I'm a new 997 owner on the southcoast with a Gen 1 C2S cab & I'm looking for advice, feedback & experience to help me get the car exactly as I want it, so I have some questions;
The car has a Nav system (Bose stereo) that requires a SIM card to use a mobile phone & I want to use Bluetooth & have IPod connectivity;
Can this be modified using Porsche parts or systems to operate with Bluetooth & IPod?
Can this be upgraded to a Gen 2 & does this work with Bluetooth & IPod?
What's your experience of aftermarket double DIN upgrades?
What's your experience of aftermarket Bluetooth / IPod upgrades?
The car has the steering wheel without controls, I've seen them sold on ebay, can they be retro fitted to my current system
The car has covered 39k miles but I'm assuming its going to need some suspension refreshment. My thoughts are to get a full alignment carried out first to understand the current condition & get everything set correctly, but I'm unsure what route to take that will improve the overall handling, I'm not planning to track the car, it's for my daily commute & some B road, "enthusiastic" driving at weekends
I've been driving M cars for the last 10 years & they are easy to extract the noise they were designed to make. The 997 3.8 in its current standard form (No sports exhaust) sounds a little tame & muted. I've been looking & talking to other drivers & been given a lot of advice. Change the cats & rear exhaust & fit a performance filter seems to be the most common feedback, but again I'm unsure & looking for other owners personal experience. My Budget is not massive for this part of the project
Apologies for the mass of questions, I'm picking the car up on Friday & want to get ahead of the game
Cheers
Tyrone
