PCM 3.0 for 997.1

Is there any way to update the 997.1 turbo to the PCM3 that is standard in 997 models 2009+?

I understand it is difficult or cost-inhibitive or that it may be smarter to trade my car in for a 2009+ but I custom ordered mine and I'm happy with it aside from the lack of Bluetooth, iPod (I've used Dension and didn't have great luck, not to say the product is not good, I just don't prefer it myself)

Thanks in advance!

Hussain

edit: Also, has anyone used the Porsche FM Modulator Part #99704490177, for 997.1 applications? What are your impressions?

Just do this

Looks better and infinitely more functional than the OEM crap.

freeman is an unknown quantity at this point
You can buy the whole unit and swap it. I think suncoast has it for sale.
Not really worth the price though.

Really? That's different from what I've heard, what is the "not worth it price?" link?

Thanks for the info
Hussain

Are you suggesting aftermarket or factory PCM3 DJ?

Well, I called Suncoast, and they said they don't do it and "Porsche is working on a fix" whenever that is...

Sounds like DJ is suggesting the aftermarket. Those bezels linked above do look great!
