@12v Nick Interested in an upgrade path for BASE audio if/when it becomes available. BOSE is not available for my order so it's either BASE or Burmester and it seems like money is better spent on BASE + upgrades.
@12v Nick Sent a PM as I'm interested in just purchasing the precut sound deadening. Thanks and look forward to talking soon.
If anyone else is interested in the sound damping package, it's available outside the group buy as an a la carte option for $295. Just PM or email me tog et an order in!
@12v Nick Hi Nick - quick question. I see that on some of your installations you have added soundshield to the floor panels and other areas. Would you suggest the same on this installation if going with the Stage 3? If so, how much would the additonal cost be? I am not a track guy so weight is of no concern for me. Your feedback is much appreciated.

@12v Nick How would you rate the installation difficulty for the additional sound deadening? I've got the Burmester so I don't think the audio components are meant for me, but the sound deadening might still be helpful. If it's too much of a pain to get everything apart and back together perfectly aligned without breaking anything, maybe I'll have the dealer take care of it - I have a replacement door panel on order under warranty due to a defect in the leather, so maybe they'd do that door for "free" since they're R&Iing anyways and I could only pay for the other one. 🤔

@12v Nick Hi Nick - Thanks for the quick response. I think I would be willing to do the extra 3.5lb per door like the Oslo Blue 992 Signature Project. I'll take the additional raw materials and give it a try.

I have all the photos for a walkthrough on that, and I'll try to post that up by this weekend. I'm actually taking some personal R&R for the Holiday right now, so I'm working a little slower than normal.

I'll certainly get you set up with an "advanced" damping kit for yours, but I wanted to clarify that the 3.5lb is what our original kit weighs per door. The additional for the doors would probably add about the same though.
On a scale of 1 to 5 I would put it at about a 2 — The doors have only two T25 screw holding them in and the whole assembly slides up and off. There are a few harnesses to disconnect, but it takes about 2 min to remove each door. Going back on is only slightly more tedious since you have to line everything up appropriately, but this only adds about 60 seconds to the task. The whole process makes it REALLY difficult to break anything unless you're grossly negligent.

Nick, sent you an PM tonight.
If the group buy is still open, I'd like to be added to the Stage 2 group....with interest in Stage 3 down the road.
Does your shop install? I live in the area. Ballpark cost for that?
From day one, I thought the sound coming out of the optioned Bose was horrid.
Glad there's a reasonably priced upgrade.
And also glad I didn't pony up for the Burmeister system.
Thx, Doug

For reference, the majority of Musicar is actually in-house custom installation. Check out these builds if you want a little more insight there:

It will definitely fit all audio system iterations.
Thanks for the order, Doug — got you added to the roster!

I’ve gotten used to the high-res ones in my other cars then recently backed up the 911 and forgot how absolutely terrible it is

Is this a common complaint?

My backup camera looks great. Maybe they have a defective camera?

The 992 backup camera is surely not the best, pretty low resolution, little brightness, bad low light performance. Other lower cost car manufacturer putting much better cameras in their cars...but its doing its job and not worth to think twice about it in my mind.

I never thought about it either until I got a new small SUV for daily duties....and I was kind of surprised how much better these have become.

Hello Nick, Just picked up my 992 GT3, after 3 rides and 100 miles the sound and rattles are awful compared to my 991.2 GT3, actually I think the whole finishes are worse. Buttons feel, Alcantara etc. kind of understandable given the pandemic and lack of suppliers/resources.
I ordered the standard stereo , would you kit work with the Standard stereo or only the Bose?
Is there anything I can do or just get a Bluetooth Boombox and stick in the back...... I got a nice JBL one :-)
