Also the amber bulbs in the rear blinkers can be changed with silver bulbs that still blink amber color (try xenonmods.com) Notice I did my front blinkers but that requires a bit of surgury AND bulbs....

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.

First, the obligatory photos...
She's an '04 Targa, Seal Gray w/ Graphite interior, heated power seats, Bose sound system and sexy wheels. Sort of takes care of me for
this
Christmas.
Now the question:
Nav/sound system...there is no navigation, no bluetooth, no XM radio and the CD player doesn't recognize MP3 CDs. Not many cars had these capabilities in 2004. To cure this problem in my Vette, I had an aftermarket navigation unit installed that has these features.
My general inclination is that this approach would work in my new Pcar too. But before I haul off and do this I wanted to check to see if there is a better(?) more efficient(?) way to add these features to my new ride.
The unit that I had installed in my Vette is a Pioneer AVIC F900bt. On the whole I like the unit. My only complaint is that it takes too long to boot up, but other than that it performs as advertised.
So...what say you? Stick with Porsche parts and add the 6-disk CD player and forget about the nav, xm, and bluetooth or go ahead and do the aftermarket trick?
She looks great! I've never really liked the look of after market stereos/navs in the 996, but it's a personal thing. Mine came with the PSE and I actually listen to it more than the stereo.
Great looking car! I've always preferred the "pointy" rear windows of the Targa...it looks so much better than the normal look that I don't know why they didn't make them all like that.
As for the stereo/nav, I'd go ahead and just put the Pioneer equipment in the P-car. The stock gear isn't anything to brag about.
Love the all glass top... here in Washington it would be more useful than a rag top and a great comprimise. I have always been a Targa fan!!
PSE = best music/nav choice for your car. Turn that on, look out the windows and drive like the wind!
IMHO
Don,
Congrats! She's a beauty!
Glad to hear you got a Sunday delivery... I wanted, but couldn't get Sunday delivery, so I cajoled my wife into a two hour trip to pick mine up on the Sunday I planned for delivery. But that meant two hours in it driving home, which was a true pleasure (down I5 next to Camp Pendleton, with the Pacific Ocean on the other side - if you do it right, you've got room to play with speed...)
Love the Seal Gray - that was my first choice... I thought about a Targa while I was shopping for my Cab, but there was only one Targa on the market when I was looking and it was black (wife nixed that color)...
Anyway, welcome aboard!

Welcome, great car.
I had the Pioneer AVIC/Z3 installed in my Pcar. Boots up quite fast. I added Ipod, Sirius and Bluetooth integration. Everything works just fine. You have to be choosy about where you place the Nav antenna though.
She looks great, the Targa is just different enough to make you do a doubletake when you see one.
Toss those pumpkins, and that car looks special enough to deserve a nice aftermarket setup.
Where are you located?
Have fun!
It's good to be here. Living and working in the suburbs has some advantages. I've been driving with no safety/emissions inspection and no license plate on the back. I can't register the car in Texas until I have the title and apparently the USPS is a little slower than Reliable Autotransport. I don't even qualify for a Temporary Tag because I didn't/wouldn't pay the Michigan tax.
I'm loving this Targa, but I'm missing the XM and the bluetooth. So...I ordered the Pioneer setup today and I'll probably have it installed in time for New Years.
Pumpkins?? What are the pumpkins that I need to get rid of?
my car with and w/o pumpkins.. I am sure you get it now....
Also the amber bulbs in the rear blinkers can be changed with silver bulbs that still blink amber color (try xenonmods.com) Notice I did my front blinkers but that requires a bit of surgury AND bulbs.... the back is just bulbs... cleans it up and gives it a better look IMHO...

PS thanks for MORE PICS!!
