Newbie Here - Need help with 997

Hey guys new to Porsche and the forum, been researching and have decided on a 997s. Are there any noteable differences (problems) between a 2005 and 2006 model? I'm sorry if this question has been asked before! But I haven't been able to find any answers. Thanks in advance guys!

If I remember correctly among the things I saw mentioned was a sunroof issue (noise problem having to do with the deflector I think, could likely be fixed under warranty), nav headunit difference, passenger seat did not have the advanced airbag that accounts for weight (turns airbag off if it detects less then some amount that could be an adult, can't recall the figure), cosmetic difference in the stick shift, and the MP3 thing for production up until April or May...

Hope that helps
