Radar & laser Jammers and Wide angle Backup Camera iinsatalled

Thanks Mike and it is not any trouble at all. It will be my pleasure in to assist.
The NAV TV kit installed in my 911 4S required the PCM to be opened to install the harness which of course voids the warranty because my PCM software version is 3.4 and they don't have any plug and play harness for anything lower than version 4.5. However the one installed in my GT3 was plug and play and did not require any opening or tampering with the PCM. In both cases I have not lost any functions in PCM what so ever and of course no warranty issues for the GT3. The PCM Screen displays the rear view camera anytime you go into reverse no matter what PCM screen you are on, then switches back to previous display as soon as you are out of reverse, without any issues to the PCM. In addition I can press the defroster switch twice and force the PCM to display an additional video source of my choosing at anytime which by the way they included access to it through RCA cable in my glovebox. They also added another botton in spare blanks in my center console below the lift botton to allow me to activate the rear camera at anytime like when I am driving to use as a rear view cam.
As for the specific parts, I will list them all out for you on Monday as I am traveling this weekend and I don't have access to the paperwork I got from the installer which details all the parts and is in my home. However on Monday and upon my return, I will look it up and will list for you all the part numbers. In addition he was able to download a DYI from one of the forums that he used to do the install. I have a copy of it, so I will also include it in case you need to do the work yourself. So I will be back to you on Monday with these details.
Finally the cost to do all this work including all the labor and parts was $1350 for each car. I think the parts alone run you around $1000, so he charged roughly $350 for the installation including making a custom camera enclosure/housing for the the Alpine camera because this particular camera which has a super wide angle (190 degree) came with square enclosure that would have have not looked stock, so he made a custom enclosure that looks like the stock 2015 Porsche back up camera. There are several very good backup cameras available that look like the stock factory Porsche camera, or you can even purchase the stock factory camera, but none of them have the super wide angle I was looking for so I can use it as both a backup camera and also as rear view cam while driving. So the $350 installation fee included making a custom enclosure for this Alpin camera. Hope this helps and please feel free to ask any other questions. Mark

I DIY'd the install, it took a couple of hours.
Really the hardest part is getting the cable through the firewall but its just a matter of patience while working in a tight spot.
I can help anyone that needs it, and I can probably even pop some parts off and take photos if it helps. There is a pretty good set of instructions on 6speed that I used, but he doesn't explain the pulsing to program the unit very well.

That's actually pretty good price. The Alpine HCE-C155 is little more money (I think $100 more) than the one NAV-TV recommends, but still at this price you are getting a great deal. I highly recommend going with NAV-TV harness, as so far so good and no complaints. Mark

I uploaded pictures of all the manuals for the various parts used for the camera and radar. Please look up the same link and you will see the added pictures. I also sent you a PM with more info. Please let me know if you need any additional assistance. Mark

You should have done the AL Priority laser jammers with the bell unit. They are the best available for laser jamming every gun made to date. Lots of information out there documenting this. I just did this to my 2015 turbo s and would do for a gt3 if I drove it on the street. If Im lucky enough to get the RS I'll skip it as it will be track only.

I was going to initally go with Al Priority due to their superior performance, but after long research discovered their main advantage against the shifter pro was mainly due to their ability to jam the DragonEye guns where none of the others can. However in the Northwest area where I live non of the law enforcement carries these guns and there are no near future plans to ever use them, so they don't pose a real threat to us at least for the next 5 yrs, so I opted to go with the latest laser shifter pro because of its ultra compact size and they integrate so well and out of the box with the Bell unit.
