I have a 2007 997.1 Turbo. Currently, the car does not have bluetooth capability. My interior is apart for other reasons at the moment. Any reason I should not install this TranzIt BLU HF unit while the interior is apart? All I am after is #1: bluetooth for music streaming (Pandora), and secondary would be hands free phone calls.

This is not a daily driver. It is a good weather weekend driver.

It works well, I think you should go for it. It's super easy to install. Sound quality is OK, worse than CD but better than radio. I don't think it works very well for hands-free calls though. I still put my Airpods in my ear when I get a call

I got the Mr12volt bluetooth module from ebay in my 997.1 It works great. Fully integrates with the factory fiberoptic system. Calls are great and music is perfect. Cost 120 USD.

FYI I have a brand new Transit Blu HF unit, with both antenna adapters. All unopened and untouched, in original packaging.

Offers? In Seattle area but will ship.

I have had it installed for about 4 months now, and still recommend it. It’s very simple to install, and the sound is great. I will say, the mic that comes with the system isn’t the greatest, but it still works. My wife just says I sound a little distant.

Although the mr12volt, and other MOST (fiber optic) compatible systems are great ideas, if you don’t already have a cd changer, then you have to go to the dealership to have them reprogram your pcm before it will work.

Yeah, I've had one in my 07 Cayman (fun car, not DD) for about 4 years and mostly use it on longer trips. I'm always a bit disappointed in the sound quality of the music, though I have found it fine for calls. Keep thinking of putting in an aftermarket radio but not sure it is worth the hassle since the TranzitBlu does in fact work OK, not great, but definitely OK.

Thumbs up Transit Blu HF

Got mine for $149 + $12.95 for the adapter.

Works like a charm and got to keep the original interior look. Highly recommend.
