Not my place to post what theyve developed. I contacted him directly.

I will say this. Dyne audio, Morel and Mosconi all plug and play.

Hey Everyone!!! I'm back on RL and working at officially releasing what we've been brewing up for the 991.2 – we have a few of these "upgrades" out in the field right now, just gathering feedback and making sure they're as solid as we believe they are before making the announcement. Will be doing that this weekend if all goes as planed – stay tuned!

Looking forward to the announcement, especially since I'm considering another 991.2 and only drawback is standard audio.

It certainly will be. The new systems we have are designed to work with Sound Package Plus, Bose, and Burmester trims

I did this to my 991.2 with BOSE and it is very expensive and not so simple. The BOSE system is fiber optic and requires a piece from NAVTV to do all of the conversions. That piece alone is expensive. Plus you need new amps, or at least one amp, depending on how many speakers you want to run. It's complicated and even if and when Nick and Musicar get it sorted and make it plug and play I would be willing to bet you are going to be paying at LEAST $10,000 for the components before installation. Its not an easy conversion. You also lose your sub, which is no biggie because its junk, and your low end bass will only come from the 10" door speakers, unless you get a dedicated sub, which will require a second amp and a whole lot more money. Ask me how I know

I learned the hard way with my C6 ZR1 that audio upgrades return almost $0 at resale. Put about $6000 into the system and no one cared.
