Console Delete..!!??
A P-car owner I recently met had no console under his radio.
No cd storage or DSP radio buttons...very cool actually. Looked very old school 911...
Is there a "safe" way to remove that piece ??? Or does it have to be "deleted" at the factory..??

I installed the GT3 console delete kit into my C2. The easiest way to do it is to remove the center console. Just find some directions on how replace the brake lever as that outlines how to remove the center console. I managed to do it without removing the center console... just required some twisting, busted knuckles, and a lot of cursing. It is a worthwhile upgrade if you are looking for more knee room and is on my must do list for the GT3. You can also get the kit from Suncoast Porsche in Sarasota.

I really like the way that delete looks...thanks for the pics..
But I'm not sure I can do it...Below the storage tray are radio functions like DSP and other memory kinda thingys.
Thus, to remove that would certainly affect the stereo..
Thoughts ...!!!??

Pay a couple of hours labor and have a tech do it, I would think all of that can be rerouted to blanks in the main dash.
Mine was simpler, have to say my favorite interior mod. They are nicer now, but on the '99 it seems obvious the original dash design concept didn't include that lower console. Look closely at Sentipede's picture, same depth, same finish, no accomodation for wiring, etc.

Sentipede, it's flattering to have the picture I took of my interior used as your example for the GT3 console delete. Guess I'll have to copyright it if I expect to receive any royalties.......

The stereo is "rarely" even on. I'm kinda' a news guy anyway, NPR and stuff like that. After I bought the car, I realized the stereo was pretty crappy, thus news is all I want to tune into. As with most of my cars, I'd rather hear the sweet sound of the motor and exhaust note.
If it can be done, I defiently want to use the console delete...DSP and that stereo isn't a priority for me anyway.
