I'm waiting for Komo's 430 tune. I want to see what the results are, and what kind of process/support they put in place for customers in the U.S.

Kudos to all....and some incredible personalization here.
I come from the Pcar world where many feel that messing w/the car is almost sacrilege.
Not me....one of my Pcars (30 yrs ago) got cut up and modified in Germany before it even made it to US soil.
So....with my Emira 2 weeks out I have parts & pieces here and three different shops lined up in succession to effect most of the changes. She should be on the road by April.
Help, if you would on a couple of simple question......I see several here w/in-car electronics and wondering where is best place to source 'ignition-on' hard wire for radar or other. Maybe there is a thread on this but I was unable to find it.
Lastly.....for all those w/tint done can I assume you did the small windows behind the seats as well as the driver/passenger windows.....and what tint....15/30?
Thanks in advance.

Nice 993, I also have a C4.
I don’t have my Emira yet, but it looks like there is a USB port by the mirror- and there are now adapter cords to power radar detectors, etc, from USB.

Crazy.....and I've sent this question to the 'Contact" address for this forum several times w/out response.

I genuinely had no idea what you meant until I went to the eBay listing. I had no idea that was a thing!Mod priority:

Collapsible spare pioneered by BFG, first car with it was 1967 Pontiac Firebird.
My NSX, 993, and 300ZX all came with oem collapsible spares. I am an old guy, and just like having a spare tire.
Not sure it will really fit in the Emira back seat though..

Yep....it was in my Signature......thanks.
On the power, no, I am looking for an ignition-on hard wire point.
I'll probably find in the fuse block eventually. All my cars have hard wired detectors w/remotes....all w/concealed wiring.
Thanks.
In the passenger-side footwell is a panel that covers the fuse box. 4 plastic 1/4 turn fasteners, and then you have to wrestle a bit with the panel to get it out. Getting it back in properly is even harder - the bottom of it hooks into place in a channel that you can't see in the pic below because the edge of the carpet is blocking the view.
The blue 15A fuse is for the power adapter behind the center arm rest and will probably serve your needs. The fuse directly below it (not pictured - I had removed it) is for the USB outlet in the mirror housing. Both are ignition-on that you could just put an add-a-fuse in.
If you decide to get the wireless charger kit in the link below it also comes with an ignition switched power supply. It's a great product.
