I shall continue to call it a 911 until someone tells me not to.

the old OEM base AF radio

eBay seller was very meh, much to my surprise the new radio actually arrived last week! Seller didn’t include the antenna adapter so it is in place without the plastic fully around the radio as I’ll be pulling it back out to finish the job soon. Replacing the radio was a dream! I’m also pleasantly surprised with how responsive the screen is and just generally how well everything works on it.

new radio is OEM in the Asian Market - RCD330G plus

I cracked my phone over this next thing. Open to feedback on if it was worth it.

no tips

Truly, my leather case was jacked and I’ve been living on the edge for a month plus with no phone case. It took a nice fall from my shorts pocket to the garage concrete. The bug however looks snazzier than ever...right?

slip on tips

Picked the tips up for super cheap on ebay. They just slide on so I question their longevity. We shall see. For the moment though, it’s a much nicer look.

Next up is probably wheels, found some heritage ones for sale locally - unless I find something else that would be nice.
Goal look would probably be this - yes that is just a stock blue 911.

Ok, I’ll give it a shot.

That’s not a 911.

Chinese-market infotainment can’t melt VW Beetle uncoolness.

If you drive it backwards, it’s rear engined.

There’s a blue one running around Charlotte with orange heritage wheels and a subtle orange stripe down the rocker panel.

Does it have a gulf vibe?

I unfortunately googled to this video and I need to share my regrets

Why is the power logo crooked on both radios?

TysMagic > TheTurbochargedSquirrel 07/31/2017 at 12:54

THAT’S THE WORST PART!!!! That is the volume knob and the power logo turns with the volume.
You can however adjust the volume to your liking, turn off the radio, spin the logo to its correct position, then turn the radio back on.

Or use your steering wheel controls.

My sister’s friend had that issue with her Q3, that knob has a strict no-touching rule. Volume adjusted via steering wheel only.

I hope you’re sitting down for this one, this base model bug has no steering wheel controls

I HATE THAT.

I only use the steering wheel controls because I can’t stand the power logo not being standing up.

I agree. It doesn’t have steering wheel controls so only choice
