2009 has a upgraded navi/pcm system, but my 07tt navi/pcm works great. My car is also a tip and I really enjoy it on the street and the track! Good Luck.

The biggest change was the introduction of the PDK transmissions in MY09. It's a significant change over the Tiptronic.

Yes it does. If you get the PDK make sure you get sport chrono package as well. This allows you to enjoy the performance of the PDK to its fullest.

You can't retrofit satellite radio in the post '08 cars, if that matters to you.

I put a kit from the Cayenne in my '08. I guess you mean '09 and beyond.

What I wish I could retrofit is the '09 + Nav and screen. Garmin is easier to use than what I have.

I don't believe the cab was available until 2008. (I have a 2008 and I'm sure it was the first year for the 997 TT cab)

I think 2009 was the first year cool seats were offered.

im looking at a 2008 turbo Cab, (207 also had turbo cab).

every 2009 turbo cab i have looked at only has tiptronic or manual?

perhaps PDK is a 2010 option??

There was not an 07TT cab in the US. The 2007's were only coupes.

Just another thumbs-up on '08 turbo tip. I've enjoyed mine a lot and had zero problems in 2 years 12000 miles. '09 PCM would be nicer I'm sure.
