Is there a white sticker on the inside of your hood that shows the options? My 04 has it there and in the warranty manual...but you're right, a dealer should be able to tell you. Maybe even PCNA if you get the right person on the phone.

Here is what the Porsche Option Decoder had to say:
Code Option Description
139 Seat Heating - Left
340 Seat heating - Right
424 Automatic heating control
432 Sports steering wheel, leather 363mm (4 spokes)
432 Lateral stripes, Martini [1978-1982]
586 Lumbar support (driver's seat)
939 Soft leather rear
982 Supple Leather Seats/Trim
C02 Equipped with catalytic converter
X97 Aluminium/leather shift ****
X98 Aluminium/leather parking break handle

No BOSE. The car also as a three spoke wheel instead of a four spoke, so that must have gotten swapped at some point.

Here is the rest of the sticker:

I thought the 4 spoke was gone for the 02+ years.

That stereo sounds like it's going to be awesome.

I'd have to check my buyer's guide and essential companion on that. Perhaps its a mistake in the option lookup?

Just under the VIN, it says 996 430. Is that the indicator for 4S?

I also found this:

432 Protective laquer finish black

I did a little searching here and on renntech but couldn't find a thread detailing how to remove the center console. Anyone with links?

I think I may try the cubby installation first and move to the rear console box later.

The instrections for the B&M shifter shows how to remove the console, very easy!

Thanks for the link! I think I have to delay the project for lack of supplies this evening.

Hey Z... have you seen your wife lately? Seems to be a lot of P-car time !!!

zroadhouse

I think I just talk a lot.

She's actually out for the evening. It's my kids who are waiting for me to put them to bed instead of chatting on the forums.

Center console is off. iPorsche adapter installed but not fully working yet (not charging my iPod like it should).

Question on wire routing -- what would be the best way to get the wire routed to the rear console box? It looks like the "stock" wires are routed under the shifter assembly. Is it possible to route the wire above without interfering with the shifter cables, etc.?

gota911

Just loosen the 4 bolts that hold down the shift tower (black plastic housing) and completely remove two of them on the same side and lift the shift tower up 1/4" and tuck the wires under the tower. Re-tighten the bolts and you are good to go.

I'm completed the install and am very happy with the results.

I followed the iPorsche instructions for the actual install of the connections for the iPod (LINK) but decided to locate the ipod in the box in the rear console instead of in the cubby.

1) Here is the car with the center and rear consoles removed:


2) I routed the iPod cable under the shifter assembly (which I temporarily moved to help accomplish this) as shown in this picture (far right). I used mini zip ties to secure the cable as shown here (center and left -- soon after the pic was taken):


3) Using a hack saw and a file, I cut into the bottom of the rear console box sides and floor for the wire:




4) This picture shows the console reinstalled prior to adding in the rubber mat


5) iPod installed!


Hope others will find this useful.
