Doing The First GT4 Interior Modifications

What's up, big Porsche bros! Now that the outside of the GT4 is dialed in, I wanna focus on getting some interior mods done. Of course, the first mod you always have to do with the bucket seats is install a bolster protector so you don't mess them up. Second, we're diving into installing the T-Design9 Memory module which helps with retaining your preferred driving settings. Last but not least, we're doing the Rennline cell phone mount.

"Hello bros, wait this isn't a Honda video. This is a Porsche video, hello sophisticated gentlemen" I'm dying, that was hilarious

[@daaneel]

Lmfao

[@PLr1c3r]

Every time Mat says "That's Fricken Awesome" makes me smile.

[@adam_elkins]

Surely you can take the car back to Porsche to fix the crease in that bolster, can’t believe they’d give it to you like that

[@DJwessling]

Yeah that would bug me too.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I think it's fine. It will likely wear in. Sometimes the fix is worse than the problem.

[@kmannc]

@@ObsessedGarage that’s the most experienced response I’ve heard. The dealer can def make it and/or other things worse trying to fix it! Lol

[@bobit8742]

Tell them you want a new seat, because that is what you paid for. The car has 10 miles on it, the seat look like it got 10,000 miles on it 😒

[@ScramJamJohnson]

Today on Obsessed Garage, Matt installs thick plastic covers on the couch and chairs in his living room

[@azaboy2]

Reminds me of everybody loves raymond

[@mark.m2163]

Hahaha

[@JBOsurf]

If i had the car delivered with a crease that bad in the leather, before I'd even driven the car, I would demand a new seat under warranty. My 981 GT4 seats are perfect after 4 years. I've put exclusive option bolster protectors on this year, but the previous owner didn't and when I got the car in May this year they were perfect.

[@M3_Foss]

"That's a gosh darn dead nuts match!" - Matt 9:53. I lost it!! hilarious!

[@xkc9689]

I started watching few weeks ago, but I’m instantly hooked, cause its fun watching someone do something they love and are good at

[@joetacchino4470]

Also, that crease looks bad. I’d have them replace it.

[@cannonsloan2783]

I'd be pissed if they delivered my car with that crease.

[@azaboy2]

I’m surprised he hasnt already tbh

[@alterego467]

It’s a seat. The crease will appear again after a 50 mile trip. It‘s not that bad.

[@guarnibl]

@@alterego467 no it won't. as others have said, after 4 years -- seats are perfect.

[@mattcan69]

Immediately takes off Honda racing hat and slaps on top hat , lights up a cigar and waves over butler .

[@cesardf4233]

I’m not sure how a layer of fabric will stop the bolster underneath from creasing more. I will agree that bolster gets rubbed a lot. It should be good for that at least.

[@PorscheCrazy00]

That’s not fabric ... it’s high end leather that’s padded underneath ... that is virtually undetectable go.. Do you have this seat ?

[@SIat]

I’m surprised you aren’t trying to get that seat replaced. That crease would drive me nuts!

[@seant9080]

Had a comment typed up about the free spinning rubber piece but I waited to see if you said something about it and of course you did! Great install!

[@willierolon3735]

Hello my sophisticated fellow mate! That was funny! Love the ride Matt! Keep up the awesome videos Honda bro!

[@jsinghmoments]

Wouldn't steam get out that crease? I would probably fix the crease before putting the bolster protector on, otherwise that piece may just permanently crease in that spot.

[@diljoe9678]

great content as always

[@tylerbetthauser7647]

That definitely shouldn't have left Porsche like that...I worked with alot of seat and interior engineers that released leather covered parts and I know all of them would consider that crease a defect this early in the game.

[@harryatkinson9757]

Nice video! I like the little memory module. I have a Spyder on order and will put one in it (if the local Porsche mechanics won’t program the buttons to be always on).

[@tg426]

That memory module is perfect! Definitely worth the work. If you add up the time you spend hitting those buttons and the frustration of forgetting about them...pays for itself!

[@mark.m2163]

Thats fucken rad ! This memory module is worth every penny

[@vadimmolla4858]

I friggin love this car

[@jdmferio08]

Must be a good day Matt read the instructions lol

[@joetacchino4470]

That was me that suggested the T9 memory module. I hope it works well! 👍🏻 One thing, if the GT4 is anything like the 991 cars, that switch panel pulls right out. Right after you take the side panels, then pull off the trim ring (yours being carbon) and the rubber gasket below. Then you can simply yank the switch panel straight up.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yep, that what I've done on my 991, but this one wasn't budging.

[@tulsacarclown2240]

Where can I get this module?

[@Audittr2108]

Congratulations on not breaking (or dropping) anything!

[@plasticbmw]

You should maybe wrap that finger nail metal thing in ppf just in case of a scratch

[@nyusufffff]

nice mods bro

[@terryurquhart8724]

The module to retain settings is a good idea though

[@NicholasShumaker]

To install the T-design module it is MUCH easier to just press in the 4 tabs on the sides of the switch box, after removing the side pieces, and pop it up and out vs. what he did here. I did this recently on my 2020 GT4 and it took about 10 minutes, no fumbling. The way it is shown here is VERY difficult by comparision.

[@cgatesman]

I wonder if that cell phone mount will be compatible with the iPhone 12 MagSafe or if they'll have to design a new one.

[@jknepp23]

The video on T-Design9's site shows the entire center switch panel popping off, separate from the rest of the center console.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Yeah, but the 981 appeared to be a little different. I didn't want to risk it.

[@ccwnyc5671]

My problem is I check for my Genesis G70, and there's no decent bolster protectors, nor Red Line cell mounts. 😠 It is CSL + EVOed though. Heh.

[@CarEnthused]

Kind of drives me nuts that the cover fills in the gap (where the carbon shows) that was there from factory

[@Jesskellya]

I have the GTS 4.0 coming in shortly here in Canada - looks like I can save the auto start/stop and sport exhaust mode to the “individual mode” option on the steering wheel dial. Perhaps this is a 2021 MY update?

[@alterego467]

Thank you very much. That video is very helpfu....wait....I don‘t own a Porsche...

[@thisisdudewhoru]

My buckets are creaky as well.

[@darius2640]

Use the warranty and get the seat replaced with OEM part from Germany, that's the point of buying car brand new, you get excellent service and don't have to fix anything yourself, you may even get a cool loaner car to drive for a couple of days

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's just a little crease in the leather. I will likely straighten out over time.

[@larrycable984]

I really dont think you need to pull the ctr console as you did in order to install the memory module...

[@azaboy2]

Sophisticated fellows? WRONG. SICK MODS, BRO.

[@huuearvin]

Hi, what’s the cell phone mount name?

[@jkluna78]

Hey Matt, if you were to install LWBS recliner/adjuster, which one would you go with? I trust your opinion very much. Personally, I was looking into the TracSpec part.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I’m not sure. I have a set from DSC, but I’ve never used them.

[@priceverity5289]

Little Honda bro here checking in for a Porsche video 🥴

[@Azspeedin]

Additionally, put blue Loctite on the threads of that ball for the cell mount. ✅

[@Skater100mph]

Hey Matt, picked up a 2016 GT4. Have you seen the ash tray delete mod from Suncoast? Was wondering if you know of anyone who has done it. It was easy on our Cayenne S but after a brief look this may be more challenging. Any input or website that may help would be appreciated

[@ylisuarez2351]

Archie Hamilton just posted a video about JCR Development’s GT4. I thought Soul made the best sounding exhaust for the car but I think JCR takes the cake now. Give it a watch. (Not trying to promote his channel just wanted to show u the exhaust)

[@donrisley947]

Yes good sounding car

[@stiannese7155]

great vid, next time "interior improvements", not thinking about the seat tho. Buy new leather from porsche and keep it without the extra patch. As you say, its like ppf, hehe

[@robertfuchs4922]

Can you use the left cup holder? 🤔

[@ObsessedGarage]

If you were to need the cup-holder, just mount it on the other side. I drink in the kitchen not my car.

[@tyler8014]

Do all Porsche's come with a legit ashtray and cig lighter?

[@joetacchino4470]

Tyler smoking package is a $0 option that most people with 981/991 cars get to cover the open cubby which is largely useless anyway.

[@jordanjohnson5784]

As he said, it's a free option on the build sheet. So no, not ALL of them do...but its a no cost item.

[@JacobCorlew]

23:43 Who makes those strap like key chains?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It's a Porsche part. I get mine from Suncoastporscheparts.com.

[@emadallie3721]

23:30 give us a rev limiter next time lol

[@bdeale3314]

Hey Matty

[@HGUlmke]

My dealer would have relaced that part of the seat in no time.

[@MegaRichardHoward]

What a shame you had a crease in the seat leather from the factory

[@terryurquhart8724]

Cannot imagine why you would need a Cellphone mount in a GT4 ????? I had my 981 GT4 and the phone was the last thing I wanted in it! Bunged it in the armrest and picked it out when I got back out!

[@creamdisco]

What radar detector are you using?

[@ObsessedGarage]

Uniden R7

[@anthonyg6038]

That Cell phone mount, when your phone is attached, is the cup holder closest to you unusable?

[@ObsessedGarage]

It hits the phone. Those babies that have to carry around water everywhere they go can mount it on the other side.

[@anthonyg6038]

@@ObsessedGarage I know what you mean. But it’s for my Vodka. And I’m really short , so I can’t reach the other cup holder
