Great video! I own a 981 GTS and have a fix for the radio that ”always comes on when you start the car.” Go to settings, Locking, Auto Memory. If it is selected, the car will store the current settings as you left them when you lock it. Get all the settings the way you want (air conditioning, radio volume, radio off, etc.), lock the car, then when you are happy with the way the car starts up, de-select the Auto Memory and it will always start up the same way, regardless of how you left it.
Haha I can totally relate to the intro. Daily driving a Toyota Auris Hybrid and have an R8 V10+ for the weekend fun. It's always so surreal to step out of the and into the R8
Lots of people run "illegal" exhausts in switzerland, with the soul headers you're still within the limits I would say of reasonable. Still has cats and as long you are smart with where you accelerate and take your car in for inspection to the right place. No worries to be had.
Yeah this is true but the problem is I am open on social media so I can't do it. If I openly show a video that I fitted an illegal exhaust then that's enough for a big fine coming my way, it's easy money for the Swiss police and they love handing out such fines.
Luke, great video!! I own a 981CGTS as well - with the passenger seatbelt, you can move the little clip underneath the buckle (as well as the buckle) all the way up to where the belt goes into the car body, and it'll hold there steadily and not make any more noise!
Lovely video! Had a 981 GTS myself. Couldnt agree with you more than it is a FANTASTIC car. PERIOD. I had the Sports Bucket seats and yet, those are comfortable enough for my daily AND clocking 800km at one go...not kidding. You didnt mention the semi-hidden cubby holes just behind the door pillars....those are my favs. As for the radio coming on, strangely mine doesnt. It just stays in whichever mode it was when I shut down the car. Even my Auto Start-stop stays off. Could be a factory-programmable option.
A 981 GTS is on my radar for later this year, fingers crossed. Awesome review mate, really highlights the bits I like about that generation cayman as well.
Now you've found the louder button I guess you've given up the search for an expensive aftermarket exhaust. It sounds pretty mighty with the PSE anyway. Mine makes me smile every journey. The Alpine 110 is getting a lot of good press lately. I would love hear your thoughts in comparison to the 981 Cayman.
Steve Cade You’re right, with the PSE it already sounds mighty and good, not just loud. I still prefer this car to the Alpine mainly for the engine, for a sports car that really excites me it needs a sound to match but as you may have seen from the video I made with the Alpine I really did like that thing, just not as my one car.
Toyota IQ footage 🔝🔚✅👍🏾That place you love to film at and get those great pictures from, does anyone actually work there? Or you just time it perfectly when everyone is gone 😅👍🏾Anyway my man 👊🏾keep enjoying the car and sharing with us.
Please keep posting. I have an Agate Grey version in Australia. I reckon your gold rims would look good on mine. I absolutely love mine and am always looking for good UA-cam content.
The only part I have a problem with on this car (and I do want to own one of these at some point), is how it flows at the back from the trunk lid to the lights.
Car looks good and awesome road. I currently own a Cayman S 981 I agree with the seatbelt noise on the passenger side my solution is to plug it in. Yes the radio that automatically turns on is annoying. But these are little things I can deal with. The Cayman 981s are awesome! You should consider adding a GT4 diffuser and a ducktail to your car.
I have the Soul Performance headers with 200 cell cats on mine here in the US. In my state, we have a pretty tough emissions test and mine passed with those headers. Also, it sounds amazing with the Porsche Sport Exhaust valves open. For total insanity just remove the vacuum so the valves stay wide open all the time.
the 981 gts may be the last boxster and cayman with a pdk and 6 cylinders because the 718 came with 4 cylinders and an option of pdk and the new gt4 and spyder was 6 cylinders and manual only. The last hope is 718 touring slotted between gts and gt4 and spyder.And that is why i love the 981 gts sooo much.
I also have a 981 Cayman--fabulous car but the radio thing was irksome. After much digging, etc., I found the simplest fix for the radio coming on every start-up. Pushing the 'on/off' button once only mutes the radio, and it'll come on again when the car is restarted. If you push the off button & hold it for several seconds, though, it will turn the radio OFF--a miracle! When the car is started again, just push the 'on' button to listen to the system--easy as pie.
Do it, I have a GT4 she will not leave the garage for sale, bought a 991.2 GTS a Few months ago it is great car but GT4 is the drivers feeling car, every time I said ok go to drive...the GT4 comes first to my mind
Depending on your location and your planned use, the GTS might be a better choice than the GT4. As a daily driver, the GT4 can be difficult due to the stiffer ride and no way of raising the front nose over speed bumps. However, as a track toy, the GT4 is crazy fun.
I'm in the market for a CGTS so I already know how to fix your problems lol. Cheers. 1. Passenger seatbelt: There's a sliding black loop on the belt. Slide it all the way up to keep the buckle in the highest position. Other option is to hang the seat belt over the bolster and route it through to the part where the seat folds. 2. Control unit: You can retrofit the PCM 3.1 with Apple CarPlay from NM Automotive. Check Rennlist. 3. Radio: Look up 'Porsche car key memory settings tutorial' and turn off auto memory.
@@carswithluke No problem - love your content so keep up the good work. You have to get the GT4 side scoops and ducktail next! Really simple installation so hopefully you can show us in your next CGTS video :)
For the radio issue, I’ve figured out a workaround for my Macan but not sure if it will work for you. You can turn off auto memory function, and leave audio channel in aux. This way when the car starts up it will stay in aux (empty for me)
Does this work for Bluetooth as well? (If I turn off auto memory, then set the input as Bluetooth, will it connect to Bluetooth the next time the car starts up?) I find it super annoying that I have to switch to BT audio every time I turn on the car even though that was the last input I used when I shut the car off.
Interested to learn how would It work ? Can you explain where to find the settings ? Looked through the manual and Google didn't return much important info.
Luke, pushing and holding the power button for a few seconds before turning off the car will prevent the radio from coming on next time you start that beautiful Cayman of yours. Having to do that is irritating in and of itself, and you also won’t have available your information from “map’ or ‘car’ etc. until you turn the system back on. I continue to look forward to your posts and always enjoy the content.
Sad to hear you can't fit them my friend. We appreciate you approaching us to improve your 981, hopefully we can work some magic in the future one way or another. If we can help, let us know.
Amazing video of a great car! I would also enjoy a video which dives a bit more into the buying decision. E.g besides the lotus and 4c, what cars did you consider? I'm also considering a Cayman and as such did a lot of research on them. In fact, I even made a video covering the cayman's depreciation curves and future values.
Both of you get a Cayman guys. Looked at an R8 as well and at a few other cars. Test drove 20+ before buying my Cayman S. Best decision of my life. Just go for it
@@minnaala-mantila929 I had a manual V10 R8 before my Cayman GTS. Both are great cars for different reasons. The R8 is much closer to an exotic, but much less practical. I needed a second vehicle with the R8, I don't need one with the Cayman.
Wished I live in a place with mountain passes like yours to drive my Boxster daily!😏 ......btw, easiest no cost solution for the seat belt buckle noise when not use is to have the buckle stopper all the way up!👍✌️😀
That's what I use as well, but every time I have a passenger, the buckle stopper gets moved down and I have to reach over and move it back up when the passenger gets out. What a pain. #firstworldproblems
If the PCM3.x is seeming a little dated, check out the NM Automotive mods to enable Apple CarPlay/Android Auto on the headunit, that'll enable you to use the phones mapping or GMaps/Waze and the rest of the CarPlay apps/modes.
All Porsche 981s sound beyond good, from the base to the GT4 they all sound amazing; the PSE just becomes a matter of personal taste. I like the crackles with the PSE but without past 4k revs you hear far more of the howl from the flat 6 engine.
Agreed the cayman is your perfect sports car bro👍 got to try and get behind the wheel at some point..... Small steps..... Really sad that you ended the video so soon. It must be a good indicator of how awesome your content really is Luke 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Loving your video style luke. You were recommended on "life of Palos" so came to check you out and subscribed! Good luck with your journey. Looking forward to seeing more of your content 🔥💪
Luke, the quality of your videos is amazing. I’m so happy you got the Cayman, and honestly, your is the best looking one. Painting the wheels in bronze was a great decision. I’m very much looking forward to your next video!
When a knowledgable and honest guy says the annoying thing about a £60k car is the seat belt rubbing on a trim,....you know your money is/would be well spent!! The cynical among you might say that the 'i can't find a good *Akrapovic* deal' comment was a hint to suppliers but those who know, will understand that...yeah!... why not drop those hints! 🎯🏆😄
I also thought you couldn’t improve on 981 stock sports exhaust sound until I saw last week a video from Hitz Supercar with F.1 exhaust on 981 cayman absolutely insane sound.
Thank you for the excellent video again!👌 I bought 981 Boxster GTS recently and have pretty much same thoughts like you. Have you considered the Carnewal headers - they look orginal outside so nobody won’t notice any difference? In my opinion the rear Porsche letters look better under the rear spoiler, rather easy modification, what would you think? I love your wheel color, have to do something about my black ones. And also get the spacers. Keep up the good work!👍
Seatbelt rattles? In all modern Porsches (981 included) the buckle sticks by magnet in the upper most position ✅✅ silde the buckle up at shoulder height when not in use. Same as AMGs
Love the Intro! For two of your negative points I might can help you: stick some soft velcro tape on the backside of the co-drivers seatbelt and leave the PCM in Aux or HDD when exiting the car. And just as a "warning" for the next Porsche Meetup: there is a thing about the alignment of the Porsche logos and the air valve (not that I would consist..) 😉
It is a great car. But the design doesn't do it for me. Personally i´d rather have the Alpine A110 or Alfa Romeo 4C. Yes they are not as practical but i´d actually rather have one of those. But nice to see a new video from you. Keep up the great work
Hey Cars with Luke, put the car to AUX. Then when you start the car its silent :D I have found this very annoying as well. I had a USB input for music but it would blast the radio when I started, so I switched to an AUX and it works perfectly!
Radio, you're doing it wrong! When you're done with the car, hold down the mute/vol button for a short while (click it in and hold, don't press and let go that just mutes) and that totally shuts down the system. When you start the car the radio stays off.
If you have the memory package, just try to adjust volume, bass and so on your PCM and after that store all the settings of your car, with the seat position button. This could solve the problem with the radio. ;)
@@carswithluke I like the metal bits too, I just think the middle looks a bit out of scale but maybe that's just me haha. Also I am glad that you chose this wheel color over the black ones. They look soo good!
03:20 - Luke, you won't find any street legal Headers for the Cayman/Boxster - at least not in Germany (i think you got the same problem in Switzerland)
@@carswithluke You can get the Akra for about 6k at the moment - still expensive.. i can recommend you the M&M exhausts, they got TUV (for Cayman S, should be also possible for GTS at least in Germany, don't know the laws in Switzerland) & sounds good
Hey Luke, has obviously been some years since you had the GTS but would be interested to hear you thoughts on how it compares to the GT3!? (From a manual 981 GTS owner)
The Cayman GTS, as an everyday ride, does not need to be in the operable range of the GT3, where it is mostly tuned to optimum at 80-mph, a higher end not practical. Great car if you go to the track 4, 5-times a year with the GT3 then you are that guy...
I paused this vid at ~5:58 and I realised that if you photoshopped the Porsche badge (and perhaps the Swiss number plate) out and presented the image to any car nut, they'd all say "That's a bloody tidy bit of kit". It's all the more impressive for its lack of silly spoilers, side skirts and trinkets.
Great car. I own a 981 as well and fully agree with everything you say. Question: what colour are your wheels? I love them and am thinking about giving my stock 20 inch Carrera SIII's a new look.
Hahaha, I live in South Carolina U.S. - no emissions or vehicle inspections. I run catless headers and Pro One titanium exhaust behind that. I speed everywhere either a little or a lot and never get tickets with a little patience waiting for the best roads to rev it out. Europe sucks balls.
Certificates and homologations for every f... part you want to change, welcome in Switzerland. Even if the parts are from OEM manufacturer or have TÜV certificate you need to have the Swiss certificate.
Yeah its makes me crazy here that the Swiss government thinks they need their own certificates, all comes down to money making in the end as most things here.
I know you got rid of this for something faster. I notice a lot of owners of the 981 online seem look to somehow increase the power, are they really missing performance? Sounds good, does it need its neck rung to appreciate it? On the fence with a few cars at the moment, speed performance is definitely on the list due to track work.
@@carswithluke ok. Thanx mate appreciate it. A buds got a 4 turbo version and cant stop bragging how quick it is. Yes feels fast for sure / remapped / downpipes ect but was looking for something faster again Thinking it does need to be Porsche thou but open to something else if its wow enough.

wtf? :) Does this require some fancy memory package for the seats etc? I gonna try this out now-now... the radio coming on is the No 1 retarded thing.
Thank you so much! I just found this. One of my biggest gripes.

Personally I think this car looks better than 911s
It does, and Porsche should have given it the top engine to gain market share. Porsche will now lose market share to the 2020 Corvette.
Yeah he should have bought a manual though.
The only part I have a problem with on this car (and I do want to own one of these at some point), is how it flows at the back from the trunk lid to the lights.
subjective.
I have a 911 GTS, and the Cayman GTS honestly looks better and sounds the same, just a little less HP and half the price which is crazy.
Noooo by the time I knew it the video was over😭😭😭💔💔💔

Try switching the media source to AUX IN or PCM drive(If the drive is empty), thats how I solve the radio issue on my annoying pcm system.

Great video - iQ intro too good - loving the 981 - great car to have a hoon in yet you can also use daily as a practical sports car
The radio can be coded out very easily in a few minutes. The seat belt is not an issue either. The outdated GPS is well ... that can be fixed as well.

I also thought you couldn’t improve on 981 stock sports exhaust sound until I saw last week a video from Hitz Supercar with F.1 exhaust on 981 cayman absolutely insane sound.
Yeah this exhausts are madness! Would love one but sadly wouldn’t be allowed here

Majo Yeah this week it goes away for a full detail and possibly ppf, will be updated on the next video ;-)
It is a great car.
But the design doesn't do it for me.
Personally i´d rather have the Alpine A110 or Alfa Romeo 4C.
Yes they are not as practical but i´d actually rather have one of those.
But nice to see a new video from you.
Keep up the great work
You love the sound with PSE so drive in sport and leave it stock
Perfect intro for the Vlog. ..coffee!!♨♨♨ wrist game strong as always 👌. You're really selling Porsche to me 😊😊
Happy to hear ;-)
I now hereby declare Luke, the king of intros.
domtorque Haha thanks man! Just having fun with it
The 981 has a great stock exhaust. I have yet to hear one improved upon with an after.
highgate14 Yeah its not east, I am guessing the Akrapovic will bring out the sound a bit more and lighter of course but for 6.5k, ouch!
Hey Cars with Luke, put the car to AUX. Then when you start the car its silent :D I have found this very annoying as well. I had a USB input for music but it would blast the radio when I started, so I switched to an AUX and it works perfectly!
Radio, you're doing it wrong! When you're done with the car, hold down the mute/vol button for a short while (click it in and hold, don't press and let go that just mutes) and that totally shuts down the system. When you start the car the radio stays off.
If you have the memory package, just try to adjust volume, bass and so on your PCM and after that store all the settings of your car, with the seat position button. This could solve the problem with the radio. ;)
Awesome thanks man!
Nichts zu danken! Hat es funktioniert?
I really love the way your car looks, Luke! Just the steering wheel looks not as good as the new ones do imo
Henning Boom Thanks man and and I have to say I think it looks just as good, love the metal parts and the fact it has no buttons :-)
@@carswithluke I like the metal bits too, I just think the middle looks a bit out of scale but maybe that's just me haha.
Also I am glad that you chose this wheel color over the black ones. They look soo good!
You definitely deserve more subscribers 😍👌
03:20 - Luke, you won't find any street legal Headers for the Cayman/Boxster - at least not in Germany (i think you got the same problem in Switzerland)
Yeah thought so man, would love the Akrapovic but 6.5k is just too much
@@carswithluke You can get the Akra for about 6k at the moment - still expensive.. i can recommend you the M&M exhausts, they got TUV (for Cayman S, should be also possible for GTS at least in Germany, don't know the laws in Switzerland) & sounds good
Hey Luke, has obviously been some years since you had the GTS but would be interested to hear you thoughts on how it compares to the GT3!? (From a manual 981 GTS owner)
Any GT3 blows a cayman out of the water
@@ky7037 you’ve obviously never used one as a daily 👍
@@Ollie_5 let’s not kid ourselves that a Cayman GTS is better than a GT3
The Cayman GTS, as an everyday ride, does not need to be in the operable range of the GT3, where it is mostly tuned to optimum at 80-mph, a higher end not practical. Great car if you go to the track 4, 5-times a year with the GT3 then you are that guy...
I literally exit fullscreen mode to check which channel I am in when he ran Joe's video lol !!
iBrahim Houache 😂👌🏻
I did the same thing! I was so confused! I even rewound it a few seconds just to make sure! 😂
I paused this vid at ~5:58 and I realised that if you photoshopped the Porsche badge (and perhaps the Swiss number plate) out and presented the image to any car nut, they'd all say "That's a bloody tidy bit of kit".
It's all the more impressive for its lack of silly spoilers, side skirts and trinkets.
Great car. I own a 981 as well and fully agree with everything you say.
Question: what colour are your wheels? I love them and am thinking about giving my stock 20 inch Carrera SIII's a new look.
Nice country roads!
Hahaha, I live in South Carolina U.S. - no emissions or vehicle inspections. I run catless headers and Pro One titanium exhaust behind that. I speed everywhere either a little or a lot and never get tickets with a little patience waiting for the best roads to rev it out. Europe sucks balls.
Luke change the settings for the radio on start and adjust the volume on start
Thanks will try it!
Glad ur enjoying the car so much
Oh yes!
Did you have spacers on this car? Wheels look flush if not a little bit out of wheel wells.
Would like to know what the coffee machine you used in the beginning of this segment?
Super videos.... just amazing!!
On the fence for a 2016 981 boxter GTS… quite some cash asking these days.
BRUH.... Starbucks FTW, Cars with Luke FTW
Certificates and homologations for every f... part you want to change, welcome in Switzerland. Even if the parts are from OEM manufacturer or have TÜV certificate you need to have the Swiss certificate.
Yeah its makes me crazy here that the Swiss government thinks they need their own certificates, all comes down to money making in the end as most things here.
why would you ever want to change the stock sports exhaust, is there anything I'm missing ?
When all has been said and done; relax at 4:20 knowing you've got the finest Motor humankind has ever built =)
Intro was so dope. Please make some videos about coffee. 🔥🔥🔥
Hi Luke, I watched this episode recently where you got your key fob in red to match the brake calipers. Wat color code was that red? Guards red?
Yes exactly, wasn’t the exact red to match my brakes but to the normal eye you don’t see the difference.
I love the 981
1st- Love your content Luke!
Life of Palo
sent me
damn it sounds so good 👌
Haha so true for the radio, it's the same on the 911. So annoying. Next one I'll hit the radio delete option ;)
Haha so happy to read it's not only me! Drives me crazy
I know you got rid of this for something faster. I notice a lot of owners of the 981 online seem look to somehow increase the power, are they really missing performance? Sounds good, does it need its neck rung to appreciate it? On the fence with a few cars at the moment, speed performance is definitely on the list due to track work.
Yeah you said it right, in the end it lacked a lot for me but it didn’t help that I also got to drive better cars so i felt underwhelming to me fast.
@@carswithluke ok. Thanx mate appreciate it. A buds got a 4 turbo version and cant stop bragging how quick it is. Yes feels fast for sure / remapped / downpipes ect but was looking for something faster again Thinking it does need to be Porsche thou but open to something else if its wow enough.
Jon Olson Fan !! You are a good one
