Berty, thanks...I am reading. :) I'm just trying to reconcile what those here are saying versus what Suncoast says the parts are for versus what's actually supplied versus what the Porsche parts diagrams are listing. At the end of the day, I want an OEM installation which I am completely capable of performing myself. The CD Changer and SIRIUS bits are all essentially universal, so I'm not concerned with them. I know all Navigation parts were originally purchsed new from Suncoast for a 2007 C4S. I have also verified against the parts diagrams on techinfo.porsche.com that the included brackets are for a vertical drive. So it would seem just the DVD Nav drive is wrong and I just need to know what the proper vertical unit part number is. According to the techinfo.porsche site (crossreferenced to the partnumber lookup here to get the latest version), the vertical part is either 997 642 139 02 or 997 642 159 01. However my local Porsche parts dept says both parts are PCM2 (not PCM2.1)...he was also unable to lookup the correct part number for the car. So if someone could please help a brother out with what part number is current for a vertical nav dvd drive, I'll get out of everyone's hair and promise to write up a very nice "How To" just for C4(S)s. :D

I meant to post these earlier, got side tracked... VIN: WP0AB299X8S732132 SW Versions: (all actuals match targets) PCM - 05395BD1/4505 Amplifier - 00017600/3105 System Software - 05462AD1/4605

Hmmm reading deeper into the TSB, it appears to imply that, for a C4 with BOSE, the Navigation DVD drive needs to be mounted vertically and goes beside the BOSE amplifier. It also states in the TSB parts list that there are different Navigation DVD drive units for vertical (997-642-139-02) versus horizontal (997-642-137-02) installations. Obviously those part numbers are old and most likely superseded, but this all would seem to tell me that I need a different (vertical-spec) Navigation DVD drive other than than the one listed above which, as far as I can tell from research is a horizontal-only unit... Can anyone clarify or confirm this?

The CaymanClub reference indicates a 997.622.710.00 (Bose -no changer) or 997.622.713.00 (Bose -with Changer) MOST waveguide/cable harness is needed...obviously to connect the Nav unit into the chain. Neither of these parts are listed on the https://techinfo.porsche.com/techinfo/pdf/e...997_KATALOG.pdf parts catalog page. Is this because the 997 is pre-wired whereas the Cayman is not... or am I missing part(s)? CaymanClub led me astray. The actual TSB for the installation indicates I need 997.622.717.00 (Bose -no changer) or 997.622.720.00 (Bose -with Changer), of which I will have the latter...so I'll either have to install the changer at the same time or order a new cable... I suppose no one has retro-fitted both changer and nav into a C4S (since I'm hearing doubts that both would fit...)

Thanks, berty, lot of good info/advice there. I'm hitting the books now, so to speak, while awaiting the parts/time. Being as the car is my girlfriend's, and since the CD Changer wasn't something she originally wanted (it just happened to come in that "package"), I've already told her that it may be sacrificed for a BlueTooth(MoBridge or Tooki) unit and an iPod hookup.

In my intro post, I mentioned I'd be retrofitting this set of components into a new 2008 C4S with BOSE. I have since received an updated parts list so I thought I'd ask those with the know-how around here to peruse the list and tell me if I have the correct set of components for this particular car/setup It looks like the 997-642-157-01 DVD Navigation Unit is an older horizontal unit and not a vertical unit (I had read somewhere that C4 vehicles need the vertical? Is that right?...Should I be worried about matching A,B,C levels since this appears to be an older part?) [*]Does it appear as though I'm missing anything [*]I'm now a contributing member, could someone point me to the "proper"/current TSBs for the various installs?

Thanks, Loren... I just contributed :)

Hello Everybody! Let me first apologize for reposting from rennlist as I was referred here from there. This past Saturday my girlfriend picked up a new 2008 997-1 C4S in Guards Red on Black (for about 16k off sticker). I must say I'm rather jealous as I've always said my next car will be P-car. My current auto of choice is a BMW E86 ///M-Coupe that I track on the local road course (MSR Cresson) as much as possible (I attend a lot of events with the local P-Car club because their instructors are much better for more advanced drvers). I plan on getting her out for at least one HPDE so she can learn how to drive the car as soon as the car is sufficiently broken in. Being as her new C4S is lacking all the modern day technological niceties a girl should have, my first project is to tackle adding the Navigation, SIRIUS, and CD Changer modules which I picked up all brand new in a package here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...m=170299192156 which seems to be an incredible bargain. (Was originally purchased from Suncoast for an 07 C4S but he never installed it and eventually sold the car). Anyone see any parts off hand that are missing? Anyway, I look forward to participating a lot around here! :D

Anybody on the question from Berty? How do you access the satellite tuner, through the CDC button maybe?? I'll be tackling this install in the coming weeks, but, in my research so far, I believe I saw a post or video that indicated you cycle through using the FM button...
