I just purchased the parts necessary to install Sirius radio in my recently acquired 2007 997. I have no CD changer and no navigation. I believe I can handle the installation with the three page download that I have from Renntech. The instructions make no mention of the necessity to go to the dealer and have the car re-programmed to recognize the new unit. Other posts say this is necessary. Can you shed some light please? Thanks!

I sold my car. Before I sold I acquired all of the parts necessary to install. Here is my eBay link. https://www.ebay.com/itm/30290668542...84.m1555.l2649
Early 997’s did not have Sirius XM radio. The 2008’s and up did have it available. These are all of the parts necessary to add Sirius XM radio to a 997 Porsche. My car was a 2007 997 Carrera Coupe. I sold my car. I bought all of these parts new except the 2008 Porsche Cayenne Sirius XM module. I bought the lowest mileage module that I could find. I researched every forum and website I could find and these are all the parts necessary. The wiring harness was the most difficult there were none in the United States I ordered it through Pelican Parts from Germany. All the step by step instruction are included with photos. I emailed a couple of guys from the forums and they told me it was "plug and play". They followed the instructions and pulled the car outside, pushed the AM/FM button and XM showed up on the screen. They called Sirius with the code displayed on the screen and they now had Sirius XM. Here is one of the links:

Just completed this... thanks to MrClifton... It was VERY easy once I figured out a few details. I mounted my XM receiver against the front part of the "frunk" and routed the XM antenna through a rubber grommet onto the front bumper. The hardest part is taking off the bumper...the rest is VERY easy. Once you know how to take off the bumper, that is easy too. Here are a few picts...
XM Receiver from 2008 Cayenne... I used the 3M velcro to attach it, plus velvet tape to ensure it doesnt scratch or rub. Note the black wire on the left..that is the antenna lead to the bumper.
This is a top view of my dirty front bumper. I thoroughly cleaned it after taking this picture and used double sided 3M body tape to attach the XM/Sirius antenna to the bumper. The plastic bumer does NOT impede the signal.
