UKtom Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Hey there! Thought i'd introduce myself as I'm currently on the lookout for a cayman. Realistically it is not going to be until October-December, so the end of the year, but being a keen enthusiast I thought i'd join the forum early and do my research to make sure I know what to look out for and I am buying the right one for me. I currently own a fairly modified VW Scirocco, some of you may have seen at shows, here it is: The intention is to replace the scirocco with a cayman at the end of the next year - and build another "showcar" over winter for 2018. My question for everyone is - what optional extras do you love and/or what optional extras do you wish you went for?! Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of sounding stupid, are the adapters easy to retrofit? Also, are they generally for iPhone 5 or the iPhone 6 ports? I only ask as the Scirocco has an iPhone 4 connector, but even with the connector adapters it still doesn't work on my iPhone 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Beanoir™ Posted May 30, 2017 Founder Share Posted May 30, 2017 They're not easy to retrofit no, but I have a 4 connection which has a Bluetooth adaptor so I can stream from my iPhone. The factory fitted unit also has a USB which I use most with a permantly connected 200gb portable hard drive and all my music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have narrowed down my requirements list to the following: - 2.7 Cayman Gen 1 (a low mileage Gen 2/3.4 is too pricey for me on insurance and running costs :() - Xenon headlights are a must - PDK is a must - Cruise Control is a must I'd like: - Sat Nav - Bose Speakers Let the search begin...

Tom The SatNav is terrible, ive got PCM3 on a Gen2. I never use it, the iphone stuck on the screen is a pain but it works. I guess you can look to get an apple/android car head unit fitted?

Valid point - I agree, it's more so for aesthetics inside the car. IMO it looks sooo much nicer, but you're right - an aftermarket double din would suffice. I previously had a 350z and paid through the roof for one with nav - never used it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJMC Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I was re-reading the other day an article in Evo about VW loading container boats with Sciroccos and dumping them out at sea in order to keep the factory going, keep jobs, etc. Strange, but true?
