09 option questions?

How hard/expensive would it be to add the following to car that didnt come from factory with:

Multi func wheel
XM
Nav
Bluetooth
all factory, not aftermarket

Alot of the cars I've seen don't have these & I'm wondering if it's simple to add after the fact.

Im guessing dealer parts dept would charge nicely to order these?

Honestly, if they would even add that after, it would be extremely expensive.
Especially because it is through the dealer. Im not 100% sure, but that is what I believe.

navi u can buy module and just add...
XM any sterio shop can seamlessly install
bluetooth=no clue
function steering=no clue

remember our cars are setup so everything thats an option can be added easily in production, so most of the plugs are already there... only problem is finding the person that knows which are which

Just curious if anyone has explored any of these options.

MF wheel= Suncoast said you can add this since wires are in.

XM & Bluetooth= Check Suncoast for part cost and dealer for labor cost

Nav= This you can't. 2009 is hard drive system.

I was contemplating the MF wheel but after driving the car for almost 3 weeks, I will said it is not necessary option but the wheel is cool to have. You can control phonebook and radio through the lower left stalk and the touchscreen PCM is so easy to use.

IMHO, the XM and the Bluetooth is a must have.

All of the components of the PCM are imperative . To pull that unit out and reinstall could leave you with rattles and headaches plus it's expensive . Porsche steering wheels are awful . My opinion get the standard p car wheel and look at Techart . Page two shows the quality .

Look at this multi function wheel.

I would assume that the NAV unit will be the hardest to install and most expensive..

+1. I would get the car with as much option as you want instead of bare bone car and hoping you can retrofit later. The money you may save with a less-optioned car will catch up later.
