Installed Denison 500S BT today. Success! I now have fully Integrated bluetooth using factory PSM. All the controls on steering wheel and headend worked perfectly (i.e. Next track, etc) Streaming audio form iPhone and Pandora works great...very happy.
Took advantage of the spring deal from Eric at BumperPlugs.
Glad they got the bugs worked out on that unit. I installed one on my last TTS and it was a mess, probably been 4-5 years now.
am getting the sagging headliner repaired, the dealer wanted over 2 thousand dollars for a new one!!!!!!! Local trim shop that does high end work is doing it with the original material for 350.00
Drove it to Myrtle Beach and back in Family Hauler mode last week for vacation - what a great trip car this is. You'd think people would get the hell out of the left lane when they see this coming up behind d them, but no such luck - a quick bump of the tip - button and some pedal and they're a distant memory though.
How'd you lube the sunroof? I sprayed some garage door lube on the tracks but no improvement to a squeaky open/close...
Sorry, missed this question ... I use a Teflon spray that delivers in suspension, then when the carrier evaporates away, it leaves a Teflon coating behind. I use Gummi Pflege on all the rubber seals for the roof and door seals.
Great - do you have a link for the spray you have? I also Gummi Pflege my rubber.

I'm on trip now so can't look in the cabinet but have used a couple different ones over the years with the same results. I think the current can came from Lowe's. Its the Teflon left behind that's the important part.

Hope to get down there in a couple of weeks and anxious to take her on the road. Use to visit every year, sometimes twice, when the kids were younger. Once they got older that changed to VB, and the east coast beaches - not the same.
Tied up a few loose ends with the car over the weekend -
1. The washer fluid bottle was leaking where the pump presses into the rubber grommet. Removed the pump and glued it in with a light application of RTV, let it cure overnight while being held in tight with a rubber band wrapped around, refilled today and no drips.
2. Pulled a front caliper and rotor and took the new measurements for the PCCB upgrade with the milled front 958 caliper mounting posts. Now I'll send the dimensions off to Epytec in Germany where they'll make me a plastic version to use for a test fit, and based on that will make any adjustments and then fabricate the metal ones.
The Velcro strip creates clearance between the rotor and caliper for rotation and was selected for thickness so the outer perimeter of the pads run just inside the outer circumference of the rotor (rotor is wrapped in blue tape Velcro strip is the white)
3. Looked into why the Fog light section of the 958 front lights I installed and wired via an SPDT relay to function as DRLs whenever the engine is on weren't working. Jiggled the wiring plug and they came on, jiggled again and they shut off. Turns out one of the multi-wire connectors I installed was bad internally. Cut that one out and replaced it - good to go now.
DRLs on
Headlights, foglights, and DRLs on
4. Had what seemed like some excessive steering wheel play. Checked the steering shaft universal joint and found the bolt that clamps it onto the steering shaft wasn't as tight as I'd like. Tightened it down and major improvement. While investigating that I also discovered that someone must have replaced an O2 sensor and had the wire wrapped around the steering shaft - WTF so unplugged it, unwrapped it and plugged it back in.
Not having quite as much fun as you guys. Have to get my carpet replaced and electrical systems checked because I let leaking sunroof drains go unchecked for too long...
