I was going to buy the Joye Auto unit, but then I stumbled across a post about the NM Automotive box. The NM box is more expensive than the JoyeAuto, but has the following advantages:
-NM has wireless android auto, JA does not.
-JoyeAuto is not as well integrated with the OEM functions, particularly the front parking sensors (not sure about this, stated by the guy I spoke with at NM)
-JoyeAuto requires a dummy plug in the AUX input socket, NM does not.
-JoyeAuto needs a separate power cable connected to an ‘ACC’ fuse in the driver/passenger side fuse box. NM does not need this.
-NM has very responsive, native english speaking customer support.
-NM promises future support (firmware updates as needed). I already experienced this. Between the time I purchased the unit and installed it, I received an email from NM stating some of the recent units has an issue with not shutting down after the ignition was keyed off, but they had a firmware update for affected units. After installing mine, I noticed it was not shutting down. I emailed them Sunday 8:30pm EST (1:30AM their time in the UK), and recieved an email with the updated firmware less than 8 hours later (9:30am Monday morning in the UK). They were also very responsive repurchase. I had a few questions prepurchase, and they were very quick to respond to those as well.
NM also provided a very detailed (annotated photos of every step) step by step PDF manual with the purchase. I used the PDF from NM on a tablet while doing the install. I found it much easier than trying to follow a video.

Nice, thank you! I may need to add this to my winter project list. I'd love to have AA again.
Why oh why do I keep tabs on this thread? If only we could get a sum of $$$ spent on these mods. We could probably buy 2 new TTS' cars at least.
I ordered and received DSC sport module.. Cobb on it's way and Kline 76mm order 3-4 months away.. Can-not-wait.
Currently have a bunch of carbonlution pieces on my cart on their website... Tough pill to swallow with the mouse hovering over "buy". Going to ask for a rennlist discount first. lol
There's a vid of my day today in the thread above.

These Pics that i just posted came from that Mountain Drives GA drive to Tail of the Dragon this past Sunday. I drive with them all the time, great bunch of guys (and gals) with some fast cars even though some aren't our beloved Porsches
P.S. We've already spoken before about meeting up sometime to drive/test our cars out and share info about mods and such.
So want to drive that road, looks like a lot of fun.
Bravo.
It is a fun drive for sure. I did it in my VW GTI a couple weeks ago with it was just starting to sprinkle and snow. We had a Blast. I made three passes and the last of which was in the dark.

Looks great Moto - curious as to what the differences are for the PDK shifter - steering wheel and console bit i understand..
.2 GT3 (or with Cobb PDK tune), Forward = Downshift, Back = Upshift. Original was opposite. New **** has correct markings. Trim still shows the original shift orientation...
