Ask any owner of a classic Porsche and they will likely tell you its greatest appeal is its rudimentary approach to the sports car concept, offering a driving purity that’s vastly removed from the technological creep (or is it override?) prevalent in contemporary rivals today. Juxtaposed to this notion of unfiltered driving purity though is the need for connectivity on the move: it is simply a must-have in our modern world. Whether in a modern or classic Porsche, we rely on technology to help navigate us on the road, communicate safely with friends, and listen to our favourite media, be it a podcast, a playlist, or a radio station.
While new 911s of course have this covered as part of its factory specification, Porsche Classic has, since 2018, sought to bring similar levels of connectivity to older vehicles. Porsche Classic Communication Management was introduced as a 1-DIN unit with 3.5-inch touchscreen for air-cooled cars, slotting straight into the dashboard as a replacement for the factory unit. A huge commercial success, Porsche Classic has now evolved the concept, providing a solution for the first water-cooled 911 in the 996.
