2. running boards, and roof rack
3. some nice 20" wheels???

According to the3 or 4 dealers/service managers I spoke with, you cannot do an install of the anti-dimming mirror after the fact because it has to be wired for one from the factory- and they don't come pre-wired. I was bummed too.

i thought i read on this form some time ago, that there is a way to do this. i even saw the part on an website. but cant seem to find that site again. ?

just wondering i have the full porsche nav unit in my car, and have a place to put in the SIM card from the phone, but after i put the sim card in nothing happens, does this system need to be activated? or do i need to get more stuff installed to make the phone system work?

with the auto headlights i believe it is a software thing so if you take it into your porsche dealer they should be able to do it unless it didnt come with them or something im not to sure , i had to do it to my 997 since its the law in canada.

my car is in canada too, u need daytime running lights in canada. but not auto lights.. there is a home position on the light switch for the auto head lights.. i dont have that switch, my dealer never told me that was an option that i can get.. so i dont have that. and i would love to add that feature. but not sure if can. or how much it would cost.
