I'm sorry, but I've done a search and didn't turn up an answer.

I've got an allocation for a GT4 with a November build and I'm still trying to decide my radio option. I really don't want navigation nor do I want the roof wart from satellite radio. However, I want to be able to use my Ipod from my headunit and would like to add a backup camera (sadly, not a factory option from Porsche).

I'm tempted to order the standard radio (which is the CDR radio on the GT4), and then replace the head unit using the Suncoast adapter and an aftermarket headunit that has all the functionality that I'm looking for. I'd keep the CDR headunit in storage just in case.

But I'm concerned that even the standard CDR headunit controls items like perhaps trip computer. My GT4 won't have memory seats, auto headlamps, etc. so I'm not worried about that.

However, if anyone here has the CDR in their 981 I'd really like hearing from you. What else, if anything, does the headunit control? In other words, am I losing any functionality by replacing the headunit with an aftermarket unit?

Thanks in advance.

long ago you posted this. What did you end up doing as I must replace my base CDR unit in my 981 GT4 that I just received.

Backup camera will be standard on every new car from here to eternity.
