    I did the same install on my 2006 C2s which has Bose, Nav and CD-Changer. I had the dealer do it and had them put the unit on top of the changer. Be advised that due to location of the sat antenna, it can get a bit spotty with coverage. More so when trees are over the road. Still, sure beats FM. Other than listening to the engine via sport exhaust, the Sirius was great to have on long drives. Deanski

    Here is the install guide for the Aerokit which is as close to the GT3 in one respect except maybe the air inlet. This should assist your shop in installing the rear deck. Regards, Deanski

    Sounds like flat-spotting of the tires. I had them on my C2S and they flat-spot easly. I had to use Tire Cradles to prevent this. Once warmed up, it starts to go away. Still, the Tire Cradles did the trick! Once they got down, they get loud, lots of noise near end of life. I went with Bridgestone RE050A's since the PS-2" were too much for a tire. The RE050A's are a great tire, and handle quite well. A whole lot less than the PS-2's and yes the tread wear is a bit low, but still love these tires. Now, I think they are up to N1 by now. Deanski

    The Meguiar's polisher used to be a rebranded Porter Cable DA orbital polisher, just costing more and with a lifetime warranty. It's a great product Phillip - you're welcome to try mine out some weekend if you want to check it out before buying one The Porter Cable or "PC" 7424XP is one of the better orbital polishers for someone moving from hand to machine polishing and has the most selection of backing plates and pads. See this link for more info: 7424XP info Porsche paint is very soft, so you want to use polishing pads first before you need a cutting pad for defects. As for polishes, I use Menzerna polishes. These are German polishes which can really make any finish look stunning once you learn how to use it. The range starts from a cutting polish to a very fine finish polish. If you need more info, go to Autopia.org to gain more info and tips. Regards, Deanski

    It kills me to hear or see 997's or other high $$ cars in this condition and then owners just being cheap or lazy, but can purchase a high value vehicle and just neglect it for so long, it just burns me up. Have the car maintained both mechanical and visual, this way, you'll get more enjoyment out of the car. Have a professional detailer clean and detail the car, then work out an arrangement with one to even come to your home or business to clean it when it just needs a quick wash and QD. Never take it through a tunnel wash, most will not handle the wheels as they are too wide for the guides. The soaps used are very high on the scale to remove road dirt w/o physical contact with "brushes". Some wash sites will "wash it on the side" which is worse as they use dirty mitts and water to clean it. You may as well have the guy take that 16lb terry buffer and ruin the paint. Porsche paint is very soft, let a professional do it for you. If you can afford the car, afford the correct washing! Deanski

    I'm in a bind as my remote garage has no power at all and I've been looking for a good solar powered maintainer for the car. So far, nothing. A few may work fine, but need to add longer cables to reach roof outside. ****, looks like I should remove the battery and keep the hood cracked with the Porsche cover over the darn thing. One of these days I'll find a good solar charger to do the job. Deanski

    I have a 2006 C2S with Bose, 6-CD Changer and Nav and also had the Sirus installed into(above) the Nav unit. Your Sirus kit will have a new antenna to replace the one for Nav, as it has all together (Nav, Sat). There has been several posts on both here and Rennlist with pics on how to do the install. I however, let my dealer do it (even though not approved by PCNA) and had them enable it via the PWIS tester. You'll find that with the antenna location, drop-outs happen often, more so under tree lined roads. I'd like to see if I can use the new XM housing on the '09 series to mount a Sirius antenna. That would resolve all the drop-outs I have as well as others who've done it. Look in Rennlist 997 forum and search for Sirus or 1080addict username. Regards, Deanski

    I have film over my headlights (Xenon) and never had problems with them. A good reliable shop will install the correct film on the headlight lens without issue. I have film all over the front nose, headlights, side mirrors, door cups, rear "dog legs" and side rocker panels. A whole lot cheaper than repainting a panel! Deanski

    Yes, it does sound as if the muffler area may be at fault. Some even had defective muffler cans. Your dealer can isolate this with the new remote microphone systems some dealers have now to track down issues such as this. Let us know what they find. Deanski

    Wait, the N0's has two additional belts? So what does N1 have in changes between N0 and N1 to be specific? N1's deleted the two additional belts? What do they gain from N0's? I have new N0's on my car and love these tires! Sure a whole lot cheaper than PS/2's and still perform very well. Deanski

    I had the same issue with Bridgestone RE050A 305/30/19 and always showed as Backordered. My dealer had to order them. And guess where they came from? Tire Rack! What I've been told is PCNA has requested from tire mfgs to allocate enough tires for Porsche owners. The only way to get N spec tires from Tire Rack was to have the dealer contact PCNA with your VIN, which then PCNA releases the tires from Tire Rack. You can look elsewhere but this is what I found. My dealer offered the same prices as Tire Rack + shipping. Regards, Deanski

    I would do all four rotors when you change it out along with the calipers and other related parts to mount them correctly. One thing I would look into is the brake bias and the regulator that distributes the brake fluid between front/rear. It should be the same, but I'd look into it to be sure they are the same parts. The Master Cylinder may also be different due to size of the calipers and amount of pistons in them. Booster should be same, but the MC must be different to provide the added fluid. Regards, Deanski

    I had "W737" done on my MY06 C2S just last month. It shows on the invoice: W737 - Re-Program DME FC: W7370660001. This was for the fan issue in the engine bay. Regards, Deanski

    I too have PCCB's on my C2S. One reason was the reduced weight, high performance use on track (no fade), no brake dust, no rotor rust or hat rust. Now, so you know, these are no better in stopping power than steels. There was an article in one of the automotive magazines that did brake comparisons and the PCCB's take a bit longer to come to a complete stop over steels which were shorter. PCCB's to work their best is to get them warm/hot. So, if you are going to track the car, want lower unsprung weight, no brake dust, no rusting and need brake to perform w/o fade on a track then PCCB's are the answer. Add some lightweight wheels and it's a great combo for serious driving. Sure, the amount for these you could put elsewhere in the car. It's up to what you want and how you want the car to perform in relation to your driving habbits. Deanski

    One day, schedule a test drive between your car and one that is same model at dealer. This way you both can come to some agreement if there is a problem. Brakes should feel firm and go into ABS if really pushed hard. Maybe a slight leak in the brake booster area if the brakes do not respond in the same way. You could also request that they flush the system fully as a precaution and to eliminate any bad fluid that may have become hydroscopic. I flush my system every two years to be safe. It's also an investment for my PCCB's and calipers to avoid any pitting in the piston/cylinder areas. That was a problem with Vette brakes in the past. If you're not too happy with your dealer, there's always others to get a second opinion, or request that a PCNA regional rep test your car as well the next time it's at your dealership. That has to be coordinated between dealer and PCNA. Hope this helps! Regards, Deanski
