Charlie's 2008 Porsche 997 turbo

You can see the difference between my factory hydraulically operated wing and my new 997 turbo Aero wing

I like the bigger wing personally . . . and yes it will be painted to match

Porsche will be selling an upgrade to the PCM 2.1 system that is currently in my 997.1 and I am very interested in this product. Installing this product provides perfect Porsche integration, adds wired Car Play and bluetooth streaming of audio from cell phone into the car's stereo.

Below is how it will look installed in the 997.1 Porsche.






Instead of retrofitting PCM 3.0 as I was originally planning to do, I decided I will be going this route for my Porsche instead. As part of installing this, the problematic Dension setup I currently have will also be removed.

I'm looking forward to getting this when it comes out and have put myself on the waiting list for when it is available for purchase sometime this Spring

I'm such a fan of how Porsche is releasing something like this to support the older platforms. You do pay $$$ for it but PCCM for 996 and 997 really integrate so seamlessly, would be amazing if something was similarly available for the E46 (I guess the Avant 4 is the closest you can get)

I couldn't agree more! It is a shame there's nothing like PCCM+ for BMW E46 platform. If you want something that is close regarding looking like the stock Navigation screen then the AVIN 4 is the one to get but in my opinion you want to get the absolute best AVIN 4 head unit that is available. I was very fortunate to get one and for how I use my setup, it does everything I need since I prefer having the OBD2 display up so I have other parameters that I can look at at a glance and have the WAZE app on my iPhone so for my purposes everything works perfectly in my ZHP.

I'm hoping once I have PCCM+ installed in my Porsche everything will be perfect, especially bluetooth streaming from my iPhone.

my new full carbon fiber door sills came in for my 997turbo The OE ones were scratched and dinged so it will be nice to get these on to clean up my door sills

Thx Gary

Got the proper tire pressure decals I will need to apply to the driver's side carbon fiber door sill once I have it mounted.

Not looking forward to having to remove the OE door sills but once they are removed and the entire door sill area is cleaned and compounded I can then apply the new carbon fiber door sill to the cleaned surface ensuring good adhesion of the 3M tape. I am planning to do this once I complete necessary maintenance on my ZHP.

My Porsche Aero Wing will be going to the paint/body shop in a few weeks once they can fit my wing in with their schedule. Looking forward to having this part painted so I can mount all the necessary hardware and wiring loom to this part before installing it on my Porsche.

Going from this look

to this look



I'm leaning on getting this next for my Porsche. I really want to get the LED Headlights and I will but since Porsche Classic are making these head units available and it is a genuine Porsche part, I would like to upgrade my aged PCM 2.1 system for something more up to date






Also, as part of installing the Porsche Classic head unit, the problematic Dension setup I currently have will also be removed.
