Having owned the 997 c2s for 3 weeks, i could not resist spending some money on an upgrade.
Needed bluetooth, better maps, and speed camera alerts.
Retaining the Bose Amp & Steering Wheels Controls.
Stereo Upgrade cost me near £600, and I should hopefully be able to sell my existing unit with sat nav for £400 - £500.

Thought i would post this, as my install in progress. As some may find this of use.
Alpine INE-W925R - £350 (second hand, waited for a bargain) (£720 new!)
MOST Interface & Facia - £200 (saved little, ***** customer service beware)

Started the install yesterday – not going well...
Took 15mins, to get the factory head unit out..

The Interface connector even though plug and play, and fully idiot proof.. is not working.
Had a friend confirm this by making sure the Head unit works. The connector is not sending power to the unit when the ignition is switched on, also steering wheel controls are not working.
Got in contact with the supplier, who said to send it back they will test then order in a replacement..4 days turn around! Ended up driving down £20 in fuel they said they will test later and get one ordered for Friday...So another £20 to go collect..
Thinking I saved little, but would not want to be dealing with rudiemods again!
So watch this space...
