Got a new shift knob from Sportshifters. Looks close to OEM but heavier and with a nicer feel. Reminds me of the Audi shifter I swapped into my Golf R back in the day.

Very nice. Looks good and certainly not out of place.

I agree, it brings me back to my 997 … I remember having to remove the pcm to install I think it was Sirius radio …

The added weight must be really nice plus it looks great.

Yeah, I saw your presets, 80s, 90s, old rock Where’s Howard

Mine was older than yours, it was a 2008 997.1 … not sure if it was an option back then but mine didn’t have it.

My recollection is that there was no stock SXM unit for the 9x7.1 gen. There was a Cayenne module that you could use, but it was expensive.

Was also a pain because the cars used a fiber loop and had no aux in option. That’s why Zach’s car has a Dension D500 unit in it.

Love the looks. But having a GTS, that's about the only thing I envy.

There's something about white with a red top that screams "old" to me.
