If you have a 3.5mm aux in jack and usb for power then yes it's very easy, just buy a Bluetooth streamer with a 3.5mm jack, then power it from the usb, job done. Did exactly the same on my other half's x3, all in 6quid from ebay, but I would get one with aptX ideally for a better sound

If the cars can't read above 128kbps that is very disappointing! 128's miss off a lot of frequencies.

cheshiremaserati, yes i am the same guy.... not fussed about a cars speed really, i want a nice GT cruising car that is comfortable compared to my 996. Saying that until i drive one i cant say! My previous car to the 996 was an E46 M3, the porsche feels slow compared to that but it didnt really...

Hi All, Been watching auto trader for some while now.... some pretty high milers coming up! there was one last month with 117k on the clock! currently there is one on for £20.5k with 92k on the clock. Although will be looking for one with sub 60k its good to see they can really do the miles...

I bought an ELM327 Bluetooth about 7 or 8 years ago and use it with the torque app - its a great piece of kit for run of the mill cars. It wont read a single code from my 911! worked fine on all my previous cars.

I have been watching them for a while now, hoping they would bottom out! I really want one but I'm struggling to bring myself to sell my 996 c4s! It's been such a good car to me...

Yeah I agree, don't get me wrong my car is no garage queen, I have done over 26k miles in my ownership! It's party due to the fact it's the first car i have ever owned that has lost no value in the 4 years I have owned it. It's a nice feeling! All boxsters and 996/997 (pre dfi) can have rms...

Yeah I initially wanted a GranSport when they were down around the 20k mark, they have increased nicely over the past 2 years!

I think I need to convince myself a bit more, I guess I need to drive one and see if it ticks all the boxes, maybe then I will think it's worth it

Yes, that makes sense, but there is another factor. My current car will be going up in value at the same time, closing the gap of how much extra I have to spend. If I wait 2 years I may not have to put any extra down.

My dilemma is that my current car is going up in value just as quick as the granturismo is coming down.. At the moment I would have to put my car plus maybe 8k to get me In a nice Maserati, but in another 12 months the difference may only be 6k etc etc. Am I just being a tight git or being...

I have been watching granturismo prices for about 18 months now, just spotted the cheapest one I have ever seen! It's on auto trader for just under 24k. Ok it's a cat c but still much cheaper than anything I have ever seen. I don't think they have bottomed out yet, I just can't make my mind up...

I have an aerokitted 2004 996 C4S, in 4 years it has only cost me a clutch, brakes, tyres and servicing. Much better looking than a 997 and as previously stated will hold value much better. Dont believe the "they will all blow up" rubbish, mine has done almost 90k and runs like a dream. I think...

I would hope they don't see it as a "loophole" to avoid payout!

Wow, this is literally just a few miles from where I live... You work hard, buy a nice car and dole dossing scum think they can just take it!
