A beauty! For the iPod connector you'll need an aftermarket unit, you can't connect to the stock stereo on anything prior to a 997.2 Take a look at Mobridge or Dension. Both units work well, I have the Mobridge iPod/Bluetooth combo unit. Whichever one you get, just make sure they're compatible with the 996.

But you can't control the iPod from the audio unit or view and select artist/track and playlist information on PCM - those cables will provide access to any auxiliary input, but won't deliver any kind of integration. Proper integration on anything prior to a 997.2 requires an aftermarket unit.

Congrats. Be sure to check out Rennlist forum for inspiration and help. I would also suggest attending a local Porsche Club meeting in your region, and join PCA. You will really enjoy the car even more.
Check out Alois RUF he has worlds fastest 911's. And the best aftermarket parts.

Nice addition and glad to see it already had the sport side skirts which greatly improve the cars appearance.
