Interested in exactly how hard it is - I assume from your comment above, it must be fairly challenging! It depends I've seen people install them and blank off the centre opening with dark mesh, I didn't fancy that approach and so it was a little more challenging.

I think I'll pull my rear boxes in the spring and do the studs and service the valves, or maybe I'll just drop by Daz's gaff with some hob nobs as a sweetener. I already had the rear sports design diffuser pieces installed, it was one of the first things I did when I got the car. It's certainly a hybrid now with the spyder ducktail and rear lenses. Chocolate ones I hope 😂 Edited December 23, 2021 by daz05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justchris Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Added a fixed USB port for the Isudar USB in the cubby hole. Need a new cubby hole as it had already been bodged underneath the rubber mat so couldn't mount the port centrally, and it will bug me. But not too bad for a first attempt.

Davey P Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Surprisingly mild here today, so I gave the Cayman a quick wash for the first time in ages. She scrubbed up a treat, even after my pathetic and slightly lazy "one bucket" method Happy new year to all you crazy kids out there 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a lucky boy, lovely car and a wife that loves zooming round the lanes and is a pretty handy driver herself. Spent ages, snowfoam, pressure wash, hand wash with 2 buckets, towel dry, detail spray, wheels minted inside and out. An hour later, a clearly loose bowelled dickie bird from bomber command had dropped several white bombs hitting rear spoiler, boot, rear window, roof, drivers door, bonnet and front bumper. Oh, how I laughed... Edited December 31, 2021 by andygo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't install the usb cable at first, as I use wireless Android Auto and assumed I never need it, however when I had to update to fix several issues I had to remove the whole unit again just to connect up the cable. Initially I simply routed it through the centre console into the cubby. I thought it would be tidier having a panel mount port mounted in the base of the cubby for future use / updates. Just need to find another cubby and rubber mat to tidy it up for V2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No don't routinely plug it in, but like the simplicity of being able to access it easily should I need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patt Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 If you are thinking of relocating into the arm rest - the 718 has a wireless charge pad rubber mat 😉 I have my update USB under the glove box and easy to pull out and push back away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patt Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I can't see why not - just need to tap into the power from one of the outlets. If it were me I'd tap into the one in the passenger footwell as I seem to recall it's got a higher rating for use with the air compressor. Although Now I'm looking at a picture of one, the connections look more for antenna than power, so best double check. Part number on the one I'm look at is 9P1.035.502.A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul P Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I may be wrong. But I don’t think the 718 cubby hole has wireless charging. It has a symbol on it that is something to do with “better mobile signal” rather than wireless charging if I remember the one I had as a loaner.

Patt Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 and now I think about it, I recall Porsche getting into trouble regarding that too - something to do with transmitting on the providers frequencies without licence or permission and the phone booster was removed from sale.

daz05 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I think it's produced by an owner with a 3D printer. I question if wireless charging is all that necessary, you'd rather have the phone in your pocket and have wireless service on the PCM for short trips, and if you are putting it in a cubby anyway is connecting a cable all that difficult on longer journeys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pebisit Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 I’ve got an RS5 as well and the wireless charger on there is around the same size as the area under the armrest in the 981 only really useful on long journeys though, I charge my phone overnight and always seems to last all day Ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
