Info required regarding CL, CDR30 and front lift
Discussion
Yesterday I chopped in my 997.1 GT3 after 2-1/2 years of ownership for a 997.2 (Oct 2009 with 9600 miles on clock)
Clubsport in guards red with dynamic engine mounts and front lift, not so many goodies in comparison to my 997.1 but clubsport version in great condition with low miles was my main requirements.
So, couple of questions
Car is fitted with CDR30 with no AUX or bluetooth phone prep. To be able to use my iPhone hands free is a requirement and I can of course fit a Parrot or the like if this is my only option but I would like to avoid the clutter, AUX would be nice easy to manage your sounds from the phone even if you do not have full control of your iPhone's music from the car's system. Can I retro fit AUX and or Bluetooth?
Centre locks, I tend to run with 2 sets of wheels (I will be selling my black 997.1 GT3 wheels on PH/SleayBay if anybody is interested) 1 set on Cups the second on MPSS, so what do I need to know about managing the CL, what grease do you use, any tips appreciated. I have seen the clips on Utube, going to order a Sealeys toque multiplier for the job.
I have of course heard the front lift system is "weak" other than going over the sleeping policemen etc with care with the front lifted, anything else I can do that might preserve the system.
Again thanks in advance to PH community for you help
One thing I might add, just spent my last 2 days with my old car with Colin Hoad at CAT on a 1 to 1 driver training course (3rd time I have been with him) and if you really wish to advance and learn these cars to a higher lever I can strongly recommend him, I was knackered each day by the end of play, bedded by 21:00 each night………….

The CDR-30 is very basic. The aux socket is retro-fit but will only give you a line in audio input. No charging. You will need a special lead (like ones from Filo?) for line out if your phone is 4th gen or earlier (30-pin socket). The new connector does not have a line-out capability and the reproduction from the headphone socket is terrible.
Is this the Dick Lovett car? Saw it on Tuesday and looked very smart.
Not sure on the radio, but I'm sure the dealer would help you out with some suitable grease for the CLs.
Mine is also a 59 plate and has done 25k miles with no lift issues. As you suggest, I'm careful when the lift is up. Occasional clonks after dropping the lift were initially alarming, but it's just the springs re-settling themselves.
