Ken, I see that PA plate. How about a track day? I'm going to New Jersey Motorsports Park on Saturday, April 23rd. http://www.njmp.com/trackdays/ Just enough time to get your car ready! They offer 3 levels of progressive paced laps, perfect for any driver. Let me know if you are interested.
A lot of good points. I have an electrical engineering background and have built a few competition SQ audio systems so I am good on that front. I just wanted to try and keep everything as original as possible!
Thanks everyone for the welcome!
Hey Ken, sounds like you know what to do then. :-) Here's what my Blaupunkt system looks like at night. The display is normally a blueish white color from factory. I opened the removable display unit and inserted the 022 dark amber filter. It matches so much better. Cheers!

Yep - Just got my 3rd C4S home on sunday - It's got the "parrot" blue tooth stereo system with iphone adapter for dialing/receiving calls - 10% sales tax in Seattle

I would be interested however, an engine knock has reared its head. I have a 3,000 mile warranty from the dealer so I'm starting to tackle that problem today with them. My biggest fear is cylinder wall scoring. This will be a fun process... NOT!

Damn, you just bought this and already have an engine knock?
Yeah - get engine knock sorted before you touch the stereo. Did you pull oil filter and look for debris as part of the ppi ? Id do that and sent a sample of the oil from the filter off to blackstone for analysis - might give you some idea of what is going on with the engine - especially if dealer can't diagnose or tells you it is normal.
I replaced my cdr with pioneer double din - that is nice upgrade - but I didn't have the MOST wiring - so it was pretty easy.
To repair the cdr , if you want to go that way - you might want to see if a local (old) TV/radio repair guy can look at the board - probaby a power supply capacitor and they should be able to find and replace that for a lot less than sending it to Becker for refurb ....

Welcome to the club! lokks clean! Pretty new to this all myself, just picked mine up 3 weeks ago! I'm interested in the climate control display.. I thought this was something I was just going to have to live with.., what did you replace, where did you get it, and was it difficult to do?
I'm just about to do Renovo Revival on the top, clean out the front rads... and a few fairly minor odds and ends.. I'm also officially looking for ahem.. surprise ...baby seat options for September😆
Beautiful car, Ken! I especially love the black. I've been in love with those cars since I first sat in one about 10 years ago, just before I bought my more pedestrian basic Carrera (which I still drive, btw). The C4S was just a bit out of my budget those days.
Best of luck with the knock you hear. Hopefully it turns out to be nothing, or ism addressed properly. Whatever it is, do not be discouraged by it. My 2000 996 has been my daily driver for ten years, and has 174,000 nearly trouble free miles on it. It's been the most reliable and best built car I've ever owned in an overall sense - and I've owned some remarkably reliable cars over the decades.

I got the LCD kit from Module Master. It only takes 20-30 minutes to do the fix for $70. All you need is a phillips screw driver and a pair of pliers.
Went back to the Dealer's service center today for them to look at it under warranty. I dealt with the service manager on this directly we took it out for a drive together and had it up on the lift. Because of where the noise seems to be coming from and looking at the condition of the right muffler can, it appears that it might be a bad baffle inside the muffler. When you would yank around on the muffler, the sound would change tone.
Since the exhaust is not covered under the warranty, I am going to replace both mufflers with Fabspeed cans. I was planning to do that this coming winter but now that purchase was moved up to today. They should arrive at the house while I am in Cali next week. So as soon as I get back, I'll get it up on my lift at home and swap out the exhaust. If it is still making noise after that, I'll have a headache to deal with...
