Great thread. Tx. It looks great. I tend to love listening to the engine and not the radio so I'm just not sure if I would want to invest. I'm going Europipe before this. But super nice install.

Do you still have all the programming functions that came with the OEM equip?
For example, chrono clock, interior light dimming etc.

Yes, I have not seen or experienced any loss of OEM functionality. Also, I decided to add front parking sensors to compliment my rear parking sensors.

I checked on the tach, we have a display for:

Boost pressure, TPC, GPS, average speed, mpg and miles remaining, Chorno and limits so I assume they are still displayed?

On the PCM, we have the choice of controlling the daytime running lights and the ability to control the interior lights along with activitating the rain sensor option for the wipers, climate control and the ability to control the locks

With your new system do we lose any of the above options?

Thanks.

I checked my folders to ensure I retained the functions you mention. There was no change. However, I did lose the radio station ID which is not a big deal for me. I also noticed a blank "NAV...." display which I leave on in place of the radio station ID.

My "creature comfort" controls were not effected. My daytime running lights operate normally as do my locks, temp controls, interior lights, mirror controls, sport on/off settings and etc. I have a tiptronic so I don't have a boost display (at least I haven't seen one). Should I?

AreaOne

You should, if you push down on the selector level you should see something that shows the boost pressure...its a bar graph

So you lost info in the center display, why did you say you had lost nothing when I asked you ? Confusing.

Thanks, I'll look for it. Since I'm relatively new to the car I'm still learning.

TPMS, Boost, Average Speed, MPG, Miles remaining, Sport Chrono and limits are all displayed. You lost the Navigation arrow in the center console as well as the ability to toggle memorization of the climate control settings per key.

Nothing that affected me, but YMMV (and I have a JVC deck, but same thing, although I spent a total of $1200 for my setup... installed it myself)

Nice install, these are great units and SOOOO much nicer than the PCM 2.1 and I dare say 3.0. Most of my costs were labor as I'm mechanically challenged.

My new front parking sensors are now operational and controlled by a manually operated on/off switch located next to my left knee. I looked a new 2012 TTS with with rear sensors and finally figured out the 997's sit too low for front sensors, that's why they are not OEM. I also had steering wheel audio and channel controls installed. The drawback to this is I can't access my favorites list which is a bit of an inconvenience but still okay.

I'm thinking seriously about doing this. I see in my online research that the dealer in CA that seems to do a lot of these is replacing the Bose amp with a JL Audio Amp. If I understand this correctly, you used the existing Bose amp. Was there anything special required for this or is it as plug and play as it sounds. I'd also like to know who your installer is so I can give them a call. I'll buy the gear from them if I can get some tech assistance. Thanks

I kept the Bose amp. I asked about replacing it and my dealer said there is no need. I went through Hurley's Auto Audio in McLean, VA (703) 790-8744. Now tht I'm getting use to it I've found it's very easy to navigate from one feature/function to another. This is a great unit!

Very interesting. I may have to do this rather than getting the Denison unit

Btw 4ocious,

Which backup cam did you use? Was it wireless? Thanks
