What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

[Boxturd]

Spent another hour trying to get the ignition key cylinder back into place.

I replaced the ignition switch and mistakenly thought I had to remove the cylinder :roll eyes:

The internet said it was easy

I have a feeling that I will eventually give up and tow the damn thing to a shop

I have been using the Proclip iPhone mounts in my cars for years. They are designed specifically for each model year for most cars. Once in place, they stay in place and setting the phone in, is easy with one hand. But the Proclip mount options for a 986 and I think all Boxsters, were clumsy. So I bought a Din cover from eBay and attached the mount to it. I swapped out the silly CD holder. Now I have access to Siri with a push of a button. Hands free phone, texting, turn by turn directions and my iPhone music. All the while, the iPhone is on the charger.

About the Continental radio which I found in the Forum. It is inexpensive and a pretty cheap radio. Had issues with radio frequency interference when on weak FM stations. It was from my iPhone charger. One that worked fine with all my OEM car radios. Replaced the charger with a more expensive one and the interference is now gone. Another note about this Continental radio; when on the freeway with the top down, the built it phone mic in the radio works surprisingly well. Was able to carry on a conversation at freeway speed. Did not expect that.

Does the Continental sound better than the stock Becker units, keeping the original speakers (unless you changed those too)?
