That doesn't look like the Dension 500 in the eBay auction. You may want to contact Eric @ Bumperplugs, who is a fairly prominent sponsor on some other boards. His outfit sells the proper unit for $479.

Someone also posted recently about the HK unit in a 986 that would also work on a 987 and seems fairly promising, but is not yet widely available.

Harman Kardon DPFMT Wired Modulator

I've also contemplated the Pioneer AVIC-D3 in a 987, which Chills just installed on his 986. I've seen this installed on a 987 and with the proper plate looks very slick/OEM. It's fairly inexpensive for in-dash NAV and should allow for iPod integration. Even if it doesn't, at least it's CD-RW capable. This is the sticking point for me. I wouldn't care about iPod integration if the CD-24 just played discs in data format. My playlists aren't that sacred to me.
