Does anyone know if the Traffic Pro Nav is a plug-in in the 993 like it is in the 996?

I just finished mine - and it was fairly easy. I'm still having some teething problems (Cant hook up my i-pod and I cant get the navigation to calibrate!) - but it does sound better. And it looks stock - which is nice.

Are you guys happy with the Traffic Pro Interface? I have it and I'm not. In fact, I take an HP ipaq with the Tom Tom navigation system from my Cooper, and just plug it into the cigrarette lighter. The screen interface is just so much better. You really have a 3D view of the streets and really see where to turn. Traffic Pro at times gives me ambiguous information and the screen interface reminds me of DOS...

Arrwin: there is a CD player behind the drop down face.

I don't have any answers. I'm thinking about selling the 996 and getting a 98 (low miles) 993..and was just wondering. BTW, where did you-all stick your antennas?

Don,
In the 993 simply pull the radio, pull the DIN radio sleeve or cage and slide in the TP. It is a tight fit but does fit the dash perfectly. I like the antenna on the rear deck between the speakers. It looks like it came like that. You will need an extension cable (about $20 from Becker North America). All the wires you need to tap (speed,reverse,backlighting) are in harnesses behind/under the radio.

I replaced my CR210 with the Trafficpro and I'm very happy with it. It controls the factory CDC3 changer and it looks and sounds fantastic (AM is so so). Of course the navigation screen can't compare to one of those color LCD touch screen type out there, but I think they would look out of place in the classic design of 993 dash IMO. Nevertheless, the navigation works very well as intended and I'm very happy with it. I mounted the GPS antenna on rear deck and it totally looks factory.
