I ended up getting this with Garmin nav either on my cell phone or Ipad.

I got an Alpine CDE 133BT with usb and bluetooth. It's clean looking, not like a jukebox. The best part is I can play Pandora and Chicago Cubs games wirelessly from my iPhone through the Porsche's ten speakers.

I just installed a Kenwood BT901 and am really happy with it. It has all of the features I was looking for (ipod, bluetooth, etc) and it was one of the least flashy of the head units out there. It blends in quite well and you can change the color of the lights to match the rest of the interior.

I had a Pioneer in my last 911 and wasn't that thrilled with it. The multipurpose **** drove me nuts. It was very difficult to move through the menu system and make selections with it. The Kenwood is a nicer unit, easy to use and sounds great.

I just spoke to Rod Birch today and he was strongly recommending the Kenwood Excelon series to me.

Says they can do most anything (iPod, iPhone, USB, MP3, satellite radio, Pandora) and somewhat customizable faceplate with different illumination colors, text. They tend to have some of the best specs on the market.

They're look isn't too bling or shiny either. I have an Alpine and it's doesn't quite blend with my 993 interior. But these Kenwoods kinda goes with the old school 993's.

+1 for the Traffic Pro. I don't know if it's available anymore though...

996 552 253 01 01C, Sunset Porsche. Not a drop-in fit, the tabs will require trimming & you'll need to figure out how to retain it.

Cool, I saw a similar item in a 964 turbo S but I couldn't find one in the 993 catalogue.
