Little things I've added to the car over the years

[barefoot]

Not going to be to everyone's taste but I can't stop tinkering..

A rear view camera


2 USB ports connected to the Android head unit


Swapped the ashtray for a cubby and filled in the 2 blank switches. One of the switches now works my remote garage door.


Puddle light and illuminated sills.


Red LED footwell lights.


Top switch for interior lights and cigar lighter replaced with twin orange lit USB ports.


Dimmer switch instead of the blank and the adjuster button for the Tiptronic speeds.


2 USB ports connected to the Android head unit.


2 more ports for the kids in the back.

Have you got a pic of the whole interior? The seats look interesting 👍🏻

Nice mods. :thumb:

What is the "adjuster button for the Tiptronic speeds" ? i.e what does it do ?

It alters the speed of the gear changes.

Oh I forgot the paddle shifters...

That steering wheel re-trim looks great. Mine has paddles but still has the front mounted switches and I'd like to delete them. Can I ask where you had that done?

Thanks

Definitely not to everyones taste, but who cares what other people think - it's your car and it brings you joy to personalise it :thumb:

(some Porsche owners get far too carried away with the whole "OEM is best" and "if Porsche with their massive R&D made it like this, it must be perfect"...neglecting the fact that 996/986's were developed nearly 30 years ago by a car company with serious financial issues :wink: )

Thank you, did they fabricate the blanks for the switches or are there proprietary replacement blanks available?

I think Porsche sell the blanks.

Thank you, I'll try Porsche then. Cheers
