The Porsche 911 is one of the benchmarks of 20th century cool: sleek, European sexiness that gives off an air of being rich, but still hip.

Well, the 20th century icon is finally getting some 21st century touches. Owners of classic models of the 911 going all the way back to the 1960s can now add a GPS display to their vehicles, according to auto blog Jalopnik. The navigation system is relatively tiny, at just 3.5 inches.

Right now the add-on is only available in Germany, at a cost of $1,340 (€1,184.) The unit also has Bluetooth integration, a radio and a slot for an SD card for blasting Guns N’ Roses when you’re cruising down the Autobahn.
