porsche forums
rennlist and 6speedonline, any other decent forums?
rennlist seems like the more mature crowd vs 6 speed is more about modding? TIA jeff |

It seems like those are your best bet for your car. Let me know if you find anything better.

I used both Rennlist and Planet 9 when I had my Boxster. Wasn't very active in the forums -- but mostly used them for DIY info.
Speaking of which, some of the 996/986 and 997.1/987.1 electronics are nearly identical (especially behind-the scenes -- only the face panels were different. I still have both of the Bluetooth kits I used in my Boxster. The 2nd kit in particular was a Parrot Mki 9100, and was really good (and had Bluetooth A2DP for playing music/podcasts in the car). My Boxster had the digital inputs, so I had to get an analog to digital input -- if your car has the digital circuit, that may work in your car. Let me know if you want either the BT kit and/or the digital adapter. Although, if I was doing that upgrade now, I would just get a CarPlay-compliant head unit instead (although if you have the digital circuit, that might mean also replacing the amp...).

Yeah -- the analog units are much easier to deal with...
Keep the Parrot in mind -- its just sitting in my garage...

All of the Porsche forums kind of suck.

+1.
Planet-9 used to be cayman club or some such thing and suffered from heavy handed censoring moderation. Rennlist is a bit more free-wheeling though with many ballers and crusty old "real porsche" types, but still likely the best. 6-speed, I don't even know what to say, very low information content. |
