Hey! Can you answer a few questions regarding aftermarket backup camera setup? I see on this video there’re both guidelines and red-yellow-green lines. Can those colored lines be disabled leaving only the guidelines?
Most often yes, for the cameras I install - absolutely. There are several looped wires by the camera which can be cut to break a connection which deactivate the guidelines. Each camera is slightly different, just look at the instructions provided with the camera you purchase.
@@AutoAmateur Thanks for reply 🙏 One more question. I have Carrera S 2011 (991.1) PCM3.1 with parking sensors but without backup camera. So I’m going to order Joyeauto CarPlay module and some aftermarket camera. But I want to setup it to look like the factory one - with proximity view and guidelines (whiteout red-yellow-green). Can you recommend some viable options please?🙏
Absolutely! Buy the camera I sell on my website and the JoyeAuto unit (20% off with free shipping!) www.autoamateur.com/shop - it's 100% compatible with JoyeAuto and works exactly like factory. You would never know you had an aftermarket back-up cam.
Absolutely - ME!! I sell the complete retrofit kit including the clock, the wiring, the trim to match your car's interior - all different color faces, with various options - brand new OEM, refurbished OEM, replica 100% match for OEM - all different price points. Send me a note to contact@autoamateur.com and I can work up a spec for you.
Great fix, thanks very much!!!My 01 996TT had the same failure message come on during a recent track event. Perhaps the hard braking aggravated the switch. I ordered a new oem part. While waiting for it to arrive, I disassembled the old one and cleaned the 3 sets of contacts. Reinstalled, and no more problem. Thanks again.
l can understand $1500 if they are replacing everything you mentioned, but why so expensive if they are just checking fluid levels, break pads etc. for example. checking the fluid level in your differential is al lot less expensive than replacing the fluid!
Great video. I have a 991.1 with 20in wheels. Why did you do 7mm in the front and 15mm in the rear? I’ve read some Porsche forms and they have the reverse set up. I’m trying to figure out what to do on my car. What set up would you recommend for my car?
I did 7mm/15mm because I liked the staggered look and it helped my narrow body car look a little wider at the rear end. To be honest at the time I also think I couldn’t find anything else in stock. Ha!
Great to see you posting again. Just as I am finally looking for my first 911. Love the subtle touches you do and hope to follow suite with mine. First mod will be your sticker I have kept safe for last 2 years ready for my purchase. More content please. All the best Jason
Doing all the little things to my new to me 996 C4S. I didn’t want to drop the 💰 on the Porsche classic radio just yet. I love the stealth of the stock radio and Bluetooth and phone mount, at least now, thanks for sharing that one. Maybe the console delete as well? Lots of little things but excited for spruce it up.
I can fully appreciate the note about the stealth look for the stock radio. It's hard to beat in terms of its size. The center console delete was one of the best mods I did in this 996. It opened up the cabin so much, visually and physically. It no longer felt like a smaller classic car. Well worth the money for that one.
Carbon fiber illuminated door seals average cost is 1500 but for 2000 still not bad really. I’ve decided to do the full interior everything carbon fiber. The finish product is definitely worth it
The colour is exactly what the car needed to tie in the door stickers too, really like it. I can’t remember if you did the stickers yourself, if so was it difficult? I have some grey ones for my black 991 but I’m terrified of screwing it up!
Excellent video, just bought a set from gaugeface and planning to do this install soon. Did you disconnect the battery during the install? Concerned whether error lights would pop up if I disconnected the gauge with the battery plugged.
Thanks! No, I didn't disconnect the battery before doing this job but you certainly can to be safe. I've done this job on a couple of different types of Porsche cars now and never had a problem. I only really disconnect the battery when I'm playing around with any trim that involves airbags or seatbelt sensors and then I wait a good 20 mins or so after disconnecting the battery before touching anything.
I am! I have a Softronic tune but they are incredibly difficult to work with and it is taking a frustrating amount of time to get the correct tune file back from them.
So had an F-type with a supercharger before this and what I miss is the low end torque. Have to drive it like I stole it for it to give me what I want.
Thanks for posting this video. I am seeing this issue with my Porsche Cayenne Hybrid 2011 on the driver side door. It looks very bad from outside also. Don't wat to spend a fortune fixing it .
Your airbag might not be seated correctly inside the steering wheel. When you give it a little push, does it have any spring to bounce back a little? If not, one of the wires could be stuck.
I've tried several times and I'm going to say not possible... UNLESS you're willing to glue the camera to your bumper instead of using a retaining nut. The only way to get to the nut on the other side of the bumper is by removing it. You can however drill a hole for the wire, insert the wire and run it up to inside the engine bay where the tail lights come out with a fish line, without removing the bumper. From there you can disassemble the fan assembly and run the wire inside the cabin through the grommet by the spoiler wing.... However, that still leaves the camera dangling by your license plate. You would have to glue or somehow adhere the camera over the hole where the wire goes into the bumper and mount the camera. Shit loads of super glue?
@@AutoAmateur thanks for the great response, from one west coast 991 Englishman to another! Is it possible to install it in the spot where one of the license plate lights go instead?
@@stuartholt2299 I suppose you could, but at night your rear end would look weird because your lights will loose the symmetry and the camera won't completely cover up the hole the bulb fitting will leave behind. I suppose technically you could do it, but it would look clunky as hell.
The 911 is very good in the winter because it has a lot of weight at the real wheels which makes it almost as good as AWD when it comes to grip on snow and ice. But you must know how to handle it ;)
The Author of this video has shown, in other videos, that he's a pretty decent shade tree mechanic. I chuckled at some of the inspection items (check that the horn works!?!), as they are items that if you drive the car, you'd notice being off kilter immediately. The hood issue is another question, but again I think this Author could have done that too. I have a 2002 996 Turbo that I got new at the factory in Zuffenhausen. Currently has about 80,000 miles on it. Only serious issue was that I had to have the clutch replaced, about $12K, but while the engine was out, I had the dealer install not just a clutch disk, but also a new flywheel, throwout bearing and pressure plate. I would have done that myself too except I don't have the facilities to get the car high enough to drop the engine and transmission out the bottom. Otherwise, the car has never been back to the local dealer once in 22 years. Oil change, cabin filter and air cleaner changes, etc., are child's play with a little patience and there are numerous RU-vid videos to help you out on almost anything. I'll admit I've built race cars and a Bonneville streamliner, so I probably have a little more knowledge than the average Joe or Jane, but really it isn't rocket science and with a decent set of hand tools and some patience almost anybody can keep a Porsche running barring something major. I replaced the plastic coolant tubes on a Cayenne we had, and that job was more serious, probably a bit too much for somebody not pretty good. FWIF, the Cayenne was basically a piece of junk.
Great Video! Without any doubt the best instructions to replace buttons on my 987 Boxster S. The presentation was factual without the “fluff” you see in there instructional videos. Great Job!
I see, TINTED Front side windows ... What state is this car living in .. ? (If those front side-window AREN'T Tinted ... the car looks like shot ... as in Shit) And a REAR WIPER ... Hooray ... I was shocked to see later model 911's without a rear-wiper ... SHOCKED !
On RU-vid, I have Seen Many Many porsches ... and this is the 1st one that has a 'REAR Wiper' ... Why do the newer ones NOT Have a rear wiper ... WHY ?
Personally, I'm not a fan of the rear wipers. They ruin the lines of the car, it's purely an aesthetic thing for me and many others. Functionally, I can see the value if I were tracking the car and quickly needed to clean the rear view or daily driving the car.
Love this video. I’ve just been looking at the 991. S and the sales guy was saying I could have the 10K and get the 3.4 as most people won’t notice, watching this, you have defo saved me from hating myself 😅 in a weeks time. Great fun, relaxed cool video. Nice work
As much as I loved the Moshammer ducktail on my 991.1, I'm not going to add the same one or similar to my 991.2. After having a ducktail on my 991.1 and my 996, and the GT3 / Aerokit wing on my 997 I'm really enjoying the traditional silhouette with this current 911. To be honest, I have been looking at factory GT3 wings... but no, I think (!) I'm sticking to what I have right now... probably :)
Just the one can of paint that comes with the kit! They give you more than enough paint to get the job done. So for $65 for the standard colors, or even $125 for a custom matched color, it's an absolutely phenomenal mod.
Rennin have a carbon fiber version: www.rennline.com/carbon-fiber-center-console-delete-sku-I110?setCurrencyId=1&sku=I110&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7-6MoonHhgMViymtBh2VwCBzEAQYAiABEgLbj_D_BwE
Nope. Scathed is what you got (at least from my perspective). You have THEE perfect garage for that project. Complete with a perfect lift that would bring it up to waste height so you wouldn’t even have to bend over! You, sir, have a beautiful set up!
I'm actually about to change out my lift. I currently have a mid-rise scissor lift from Toolots.com with a 3000lb capacity. I'm replacing it with a 2-post Titan lift with a 9000lb load capacity.
I’m being charged £420 to paint my 981 gloss black as it’s similar colour to your 911 but it has faded over time, still considering yellow which i like but not period correct.
I have to admit, there is a lot to say about keeping your 911 period correct but then look at some of the colors and trim styles Singer add to their 964s, or Gunther Werks add to their 993s. If you like it, do it.
The calipers came out great and really look great with the yellow decal and other yellow accents on your porsche. As a fellow porsche owner with PCCBs I give you my permission to keep them 🤣
