Thanks -- yeah, that's the nightmare I'm afraid of (having the leave the existing system in place solely to avoid messing with the alarm).

What Porsche was thinking, I can't even imagine, since upgrading even with Porsche equipment is either nearly impossible or ridiculously expensive.

Yet, I'd still like to get a 2003 (base), for the sake of the suspension (same as 2002 S), the glass window, the padded headliner, the glove box, and the 8 extra horses (to carry that extra stuff around). And yes, I'm aware of aftermarket glass-embedded tops for 2002's and earlier. And yes, I could just consider a 2002 S to go along with that aftermarket top, but I don't actually want *that* much extra power -- this is going to be a daily driver, so small gain in MPG is significant.

Sigh....
