I would not have suggested Carmax nor would I have recommended any extended warranty, but I understand that whole piece of mind concept.

I'm thinking of terminating the female receptacle behind one of the fake buttons, so if I need to take it in I can just reconnect the cd harness and replace the fake button

However, best of luck with your new purchase assuming the PPI works out and no major issues come up causing you to have to use the 5-day money back guarantee.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Greetings all!
I'm currently in the process of buying my 1st 911 (boyhood dream, etc, etc). I had it xfrd from Vegas and it arrived a few days ago...then found out they had to request a new title, which arrived yesterday...already had all of my financing paperwork printed and ready to go, so we went to the dealer and of course it still manages to take 4+ hours...then their computer was erroring trying to run the bank draft and of course it was after-hours for my bank...so, no car till they get it straightened out Monday
Don't they understand they're toying with my emotions?!?
Test drive went well and everything seemed pretty immaculate considering the age, overall very happy with the car. They also have a 5 day money back and 30 day warranty. I went ahead and got their aftermarket, too (peace of mind, if nothing else). I plan on getting a ppi this week (within the 5 day window). It's got a little under 77k and the car-fax and autochex weren't surprising. I wish it had complete service records, but at least it's got the original owner manual and all the other little pamphlets and stuff that came with it.
...and on to the question...
As part of their extended warranty, they say you can't make any mods...kinda bs, but, whatever...
My solution - all I really want is an aux input - that way I can run my iPhone, iPad, GPS or Bluetooth through it. So, with the Becker cable that plugs into the back of the head unit, it terminates in a male plug. Is there a similar one that ends in a female jack? I don't want to put an adapter cable on top of it and introduce more noise, I'd prefer it just be a female that terminates at the harness plug. Does this exist, or do I just have to get the Becker cable and get an adapter cable on top of it?!?

see, no mods...
Either way...I'm
stoked for tomorrow...

Wait, you paid them first before getting the PPI?! I don't think I would do that even with the 5-day "money back" guarantee, you loose leverage when they have your money.
However, best of luck with your new purchase assuming the PPI works out and no major issues come up causing you to have to use the 5-day money back guarantee.
As for the "gender-changer" converter, you don't need to worry about it, it's such a short cable length you are unlikely to pick up electrical noise, but the Becker cable is intended to plug into your headphone output receptable, so why would you want to covert it?
Just say I'll never buy another vehicle through carmax...
As for the cable, with a female jack, I can mount it behind a fake button and it'll just look like a cleaner install than having a cable (with the male plug) just hanging somewhere. Plus, mounting it behind a fake button, I can just get a replacement button and hook the cd harness back up if I ever need to take it in (so the warranty isn't voided).
So, it's in my hot little hands now
As a stopgap until I could order the Becker aux harness, I thought I'd try a tape adapter - even though I've read several threads here about how bad they were (some speakers not playing, muted audio, etc) - WOW!!! Am I glad I tried it...I got a Monster brand adapter at BB for about 25 and it's amazing...and best of all - NO MOD REQUIRED!!! This will definitely hold me over till I get ready to drop the $$$ for the double din nav system

Thanks!!!
Got my PPI (post-purchase inspection)
today...he said that it was in excellent condition...WHEW!!!
As all of you on here are well aware - man, this baby is a dream to drive
Ok...time to hit the road again...
2...but I can't seem to get the seat memory to program with 'em...the seat goes all the way forward when I use the key I like (the one in the best condition)....the mechanic said resetting the computer may clear it...
Yeah, it's the black full leather interior option...I was surprised all of the little books and pamphlets were still in the owners manual pack, along with the original window sticker
Nice car, congrats. I would not have suggested Carmax nor would I have recommended any extended warranty, but I understand that whole piece of mind concept. On another forum I read a lament from some poor sucker who bought an M6 from Carmax and had major engine trouble with it... long story short, they lived up to the warranty and the car was fixed (and he quickly dumped it). Natch you won't have those problems.
I would hope that a minor stereo upgrade would not void the warranty, but worse case I suppose you could always remove the adapter before you made a claim.
Congrats and enjoy your new toy!
