Oh My God - total geek-gasm over the work on the head unit! This in particular, well done!



Make a video, offer the head units with your modifications on eBay and ca$h in baby. Worth a thought...
Nah it's just the photo, it's pretty even to be honest! I'll get a better one when it's static soon with the DSLR

Thanks for the kind words with the head unit. I'd offer it to people but not many people have these in their Porsche's as it requires quite a bit to work to fit. You have to perform some custom wiring to get the speakers to work (just put male ends onto some wires and plug them into the female plug individually) and you need a custom source of power from the fuse box, so it's not plug and play in any shape or form. If anyone did have this though I'd be happy to perform it, but they're worried about the work involved in fitting it.

I can't blame them, but think of what you're getting afterwards - a stunning looking touch screen head unit, with the panel LED's matched perfectly (RGB sliders to change colour), no external branding so it looks OEM, an OEM looking interface, all powered by Android, so it's capable of anything - sat nav, bluetooth, car diagnostics, cameras, etc. All for £200. Ridiculous value for money.

I'll be honest, I've bought all of the LED's, SMD's and soldering kit ready to change all of the interior lights (including the dials, switches, climate control, etc) to white as per the newer ones. I've done it on previous cars and it's not that hard when you know how to solder, but now I'm starting to enjoy the amber. I'm in two minds whether to do it!
