In addition to the LED tail lights, the .2 has LED DRLs in place of the fog lights on the .1. Additionally, the .2 has the option of ventilated seats.

The US 2009 model was a transitional year. It has the engine, transmission choices and the lighting of the .1 models, it has PCM 3.0 , the ventilated seat option, and the center lock wheel option like the .2 models.

The 2009 also has the Porsche Dynamic Lighting System (well mind does)

Perfect. Tx guys.

Again, I'm fishing for suspension changes, if any.

Southpaw

I know you're looking for suspension changes....which I don't know.

...but I do know (that hasn't already been listed):
- Steering wheel options were also updated for .2.
- Larger OEM exhaust tips on .2.
- Turbo S re-introduced for .2

Zeus993

No worries. I'll keep looking!

Has an inferior engine, better stereo, inferior transmission, slightly better leather, less valuable, better rear sway bar, led rear lights, it's overal boring, same paint quality and lastly, more of them built. I would buy a Toyota Camry if I had to do it all over.

I'm not aware of any changes to the leather in the .2. What's different about it?

CodeRed

'09 pcm has bluetooth

Friend had one and he said it was different. It seemed tougher to the touch to me. From what I understand about leather, tougher means inferior quality didn't want to say that to him.

I have the Dension gateway and it's perfect. I think you can't use Dension with the newer PCM 3 but not 100% sure.

PCM 3.0 Bluetooth doesn't support audio streaming from what I understand, correct me if I'm wrong.

TT Surgeon

It will thru the dension I believe.
The manual in the .1 is a Getrag unit, the .2 an Asin unit (less beefy).

I've got the Mobridge M2 Pro, which is very similar. I have Bluetooth phone connectivity, streaming audio, and full control through the PCM menus.
