Hi All,

I need help on a couple of things.

I am thinking of upgrading my car or selling it for another one. 996 3.6 2002 Facelift.

Any advice on how / where to sell would be great.

I need some important options: Sat Nav and auto dimming mirrors.

I love my car and have had it for nearly 4 years, it has carbon fibre tiptronic steering wheel, gear, handbrake, rear centre console, ignition switch & emergency switch. I really do love these and gives the steering wheel a great feel.

If i sell i will buy second hand so will not get these but will get multi function steering, Bose, PCM and auto dimming mirrors.

If i upgrade can i retro fit auto dimming mirrors? What is required and how much? As much advice as possible please.

I will reluctantly fit a double din DVD/sat nav rather than PCM as for that year it is dated, with much better functions on new units. Any advice on which units are good. I currently have tape head unit and cd multichanger in boot. Can i easily take out old head unit and fit say a kenwood double din easily myself?

I would also like advice on speaker upgrades and possibly a subwoofer which i believe can be fitted in the passenger footwell.

I know a company that can install professionally. Not the cheapest but they know what they are doing.

Merry Christmas And a Happy New Year to all.

I'm very interested in doing the auto dimming mirror upgrade too. Is it possible to have auto-dimming exterior mirrors without having the center rear-view mirror auto-dim? Has anyone done this? Thanks!

As far as the double DIN stereo, I just installed a Kenwood DNX8120 in my 2002 Turbo and have been VERY happy with it. The Nav is by Garmin and very good, it has built in blue tooth for hands-free phone and will interface very nicely with an iPod and any other MP3 player. B)
