Very nice. Also, nice touch with the Porsche logo in screen background.

Only a suggestion, swap the climate controls with the cd holder.

Looks good! Did you had the Bose Hi-performance System? If so, do you stil use the OEM power amp and disc changer with your new D3?

Default Looks great

I have been looking at that unit also it is really easy to use and buttons to match. What speakers are you using and how does it sound. What are any of the weak spots that you know of with the unit so far. One last question I tried to put a image on the unit at a shop the other day but could not figure out how. Heres a picture to try if it works lets see what it looks like. Kudos from the 6speed.

seems to be easy.. Im using the stock speakers. It'd pretty bangin if thats what your into. I listen to CNN most of the time though. No weak spots im away, except no hard drive , so the nav disc has to stay in.

for the image... it needs to be saved as a jpg standard format. load it on a CDR in a folder named PICTURES (all caps) and it will load right up.

the backround image i used is attached.

I like that trim piece your installer made. Would he be willing to make another one for the same headunit?

Most are just using the ipod now days for the music so the nav dvd can stay in. The only drawback for me is the radio is not HD ready but a technician has assured me that they will come out with one that should be backward compatable. I'll give the image a try. Thanks and nice install.

Ok, loaded the picture DIDN'T know you could do that. LOOKS GREAT! THANKS!

I hate that you cant scroll through your presets with the hard buttons. That's my ONLY complaint and it's a pain!!
