No CD player?

Very cool and clever marketing campaign Apple! I suspect this will bump up the price of classic Porches!

Ok, so how do I get one for my '65 Beetle?

No CD player?

Apple Music.

used sports/luxury cars are rather affordable, a 996 or 997 can be had for the price of a new Camry nowadays. So the notion that people who drives these cars don’t care about maintenance need to be throw out of the window, we very much care about the running cost, at Least me and my group of friends who owns them, that’s why we prefer third party mechanics who have the proper tools rather than dealerships.

Hard to find radiator caps for those classic 911s though. Usually in an empty space next to the blinker fluid at Autozone.

I see what you did there. 😆

Is this the first single-DIN CarPlay unit available? (I mean with a flush screen, rather than one that folds out). There are loads of cars in Europe with single DIN slots, if Sony/Kenwood/Pioneer etc made a cheap one of these, I think it would be very popular. Also - CarPlay supports different screen rations, so there’s no reason why a single DIN unit couldn’t have a full width “letterbox” screen.

That wouldn't look bad in my 1969 VW Beetle convertible either.

I’m thinking my sister’ old Audi TT.

That’s so cool! Love that legacy support! My opinions of Porsche have definitely bumped up. Would love to see stereo mods for even more classic cars.

THIS IS AWESOME!!! MERCEDES BENZ needs to catch up and do the same! I need this for my 2011 SLS AMG, and my 1958 SL 190!!!

WoW! Lexus take notice! (Wishful thinking)

Yep..I have an LX470 that is screaming for something like this.

 

[cleevans]

But not for Porsche's between 2004-2018 ...

Yea, apparently we aren't "vintage" yet.

 

[trainwrecka]

Wow. Good job Porsche. That is awesome.

 

[TomaxXamot]

Wow this is so cool. Now I just wish I had a classic Porsche.

Finally, something the lower-middle class can afford.
