Oooh-la-la. You'll survive with the leather seats that allow for the optional seat ventilation. Back up camera is an easy fix be it aftermarket or Porsche. She's a beauty-enjoy. T

Perfect Grey on Black. Great find. Both full leather and alcantara are great options to have to live with. Love the sport & sport plus happy buttons.

thans for all the kind words.

I didn't think I can add the back up camera thru porsche after the fact, but if I can, consider it done Do you have any details on this, and are you sure it can be done?

I am not interested in an aftermarket jobber product.

Totally agree with you concerning Sport+ mode. Mine's a manual and I'll admit I don't mind the car doing the blips for me
The previous owner had the dealer keep the black grills on, which I prefer as well.
However, I am not sure it is "Porsche approved", whatever that means....I can't see how it is unsafe aerodynamically.....thoughts?

No Vice, not in Montreal anymore! Moved to greener pastures where I can enjoy my car year round
The euro spec bumpers/covers are much sexier I find

Aftermarket is not a bad way to go. I added a rear camera (nav tv) and it functions great and doesn't require the pcm seal to be cracked open ... Google it for more info. One thing is does which is interesting is that if the car rolls backwards while waiting to take off in first gear (it is a 7 sp manual) the rear camera activates until you start moving forward. Does anyone know if the factory rear camera does this? I like that it does that.

I also had a front camera installed for a couple of hundred extra and had one of the blank center switches converted to activate when pressed. It is great when pulling into a garage or parking space so the front lip doesn't get dinged. I also had another blank switch setup for a rear camera over ride while driving. Not that useful but since the other switches were being used for mute (k40 radar) and front camera I had my guy do it.

Eddie, I have seen some nice aftermarket setups like the NAV TV, but unfortunately, where I live, if you do ANYTHING aftermarket to the car, it voids the warranty. even the front mesh grills A little extreme, I know!

How much did the camera retrofit cost (all-in, including installation labor and parts)?
