Default VIN decoding with Options

Hi all, I usually hang around the 944/968 forum as you can tell by my login name but I need some help relating to a 997.

My uncle has just purchased a 997 Carrera VIN WPOZZZ99Z9S700306 and would like to know what options it came with from the factory.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Stephen

Suncoast offers a decoder service for $10.

I did try to purchase it through Suncoast but as I am in New Zealand the site treated it as an "export" sale and wouldn't let me proceed to the checkout once I had entered my address...

Option sticker in the service manual. Then punch the 3 digit numbers in a google search, it will come up with the options. However my dad and I bought 05's and his is in Europe, his car had a bunch of unlisted options, even ones that people are not likely to add like sport chrono.
