The site shows an option for 991/Panamera and Cayenne; I assume the 991 model fits the 981?

As troy asks, does it fit the 981?

Rennline

Yes, this will fit the 981 as well!

Can I get full trade in value on the now obsolete one I just bought 3 months ago??

Rennline

The original design is not obsolete as we are still offering it as a less expensive option. The major advantages over the new one is the additional adjustability, and the fact that it can be removed without removing your license plate from the frame.

Got mine today and installed it after I figured out the threads are reversed. I know the factory did this, I wonder why? Installed fine and looks great!

Well, was going to go for a drive tonight and the center parking sensor would not go off. Just now noticed that the license plate covers up a sensor. Any suggestions from Rennline?

Rennline

There are a series of mounting holes on the back of the mounting plate. On the parking sensor cars, this plate will need to be moved all the way to the left, so that its out of the way of the sensors.

In mounting the bracket, I saw all the available holes and thought it would obstruct the running light on that side. It does partially block the light but does not block the sensor or show up on the PCM display. I think an adaptor/extension coming off the ball that allows the plate to be lower might fix the problem.

Rennline

Ah, that's disappointing. When we developed this part, the 991 that we were using did not have parking sensors, so we sent a prototype to a dealership to test on a parking sensor car and were informed that there were no issues. For one reason or another this is not the case, and apparently these will not work on parking sensor cars. We are going to try and get our hands on a 991 and 981 with parking sensors and develop another product that will work. Our apologies for the inconvenience, please contact me Tom@Rennline.com or 802 893 7366 x105 and we will resolve the issue.

A note to all that Rennline has been very quick to respond to the issue of the parking sensors and they have offered to have my product picked up via UPS for the return.
