Appreciate the nice comments. Heated seats are nice almost regardless where you live. Even in Phoenix we do have sub freezing temperatures at times and the northern part of the state can be much colder. And one other thing is that "some passengers" (such as a wife or GF) don't like to be cold and seem to smile at the warmth coming from the seat!! That' a good thing!!

Regarding the CD changer, I am not yet into the Ipod thing, but I may get there before long, and if I do and take the time to load all my music on one, I presume I can always remove the changer, and write off the ~$600 charge.

It seems there are still questions as to wheter or not there is really a suitable aftermarket Ipod connection for these carsm but I don't want to start that discussion here, however if anyone cares to post a link to the latest hot set up on them, please post the link and I/ll go to it.

I know some cars come with the connection and Bluetooth, and Porsche is way behind the times on that technology. Wish they'd "get with it" soon.

 

re: IPOD adapter info.
Just do a search on Dension or Dension Gateway 500. I've had one in my 997S since March. Granted the initial firmware was weak to say the least. The latest offering (v2.02) is a giant step forward. At less than $500 it's a better solution (IMHO) than the CD changer. If you're a DIY'r it's a snap to install it.

Whatever direction you go I envy your interior upgrades. I've got the SS Sills in my car and they look just great. I also did a Schild Trunk Liner that really 'finishes off' the lid under cover and protects it from any loose cargo. I didn't know the factory offered a 'trunk lid liner'. Good move!
