Also, does anyone have any idea of how much it would run to have a porsche navigation system installed? That is the only option that I would like that I don't have, PS - Thanks for everyones responses to my leg room question, I was able to work it out.

Definitly not worth the trouble to buy the factory navi for our cars. Two reasons:
1. The are absolutly terrible compared to others on the market
2. You can have something soo much better for $3,000.00. An thats not including labor and other minor changes that need to be made for the install.

I just recently installed a Pionner Avic - N2 Navigation/DVD player in my car. unit is absolutly awesome. If you want a complete factory look you can look into doing the Pionner Avic - D1, that is a built in screen just as the factory. This will only fit if your A/C unit is not in the TOP Din, as this unit requires a Double Din. Unit sells for about $1500 and install is pretty simple.

As for driving the tiptronic car.... Its really an automatic.... press up to go up in gears and down to go down....Very simple... Cant go wrong.

Welcome to the world of the Boxster.....

Attached are 2 pictures of my navi unit for ya. Check it out.
