IPOD? I know it's been asked 1000 times

What exactly are you asking? You post isn't very clear, what car and radio do you have?

I was referring to any OEM plans for some type of IPOD connector to the sound system with controls. I have a 987 with PCM.

So is there a way to actually hard wire the Ipod into the radio? I have one of those wireless things you plug into the cigarette lighter and it sort of sucks.

hq, talked to the dealer a week ago and he told me that next month (June) they'll have something. FM, hardwired, he couldn't/wouldn't confirm. Probably like Apple, you never know exactly until they release - you know, hush, hush, - if you talk, you go to the firing squad.

At least they're trying something - everyone has a hard connector nowadays.

I have no idea about how to put an iPod in a 987 other than an FM transmitter, or just replacing the radio. But I would think since everyone has an iPod they will do something soon, and possibly make it something you can upgrade.

I agree with the OP, I have read so many ipod related threads and still have no real clue how to go about getting my radio to play MP3s. I have a a 06' 987 with bose, i believe CDR-22. No Navi. No CD changer. I think it has MOST, but how do i know for sure. The option that has been posted in the other threads i think is for cars pre-MOST? but i'm am not sure. The dealer in raleigh, nc is not helpful. any advise would appreciated. All I really want is an extra input.

My 2003 Boxster S has MOST. I use the Dension Gateway 500. Don't know if they make anything for the 987, but it works pretty well with the fiber optic stuff in my 986.

I hope they do something you can upgrade to because I certainly won't replace my whole radio. I was under the impression I could play MP3's burned to a CD but I tried it and they wouldn't play. My dad asked a guy who does stereo installations what I might be able to do and he said use the wireless thing. I just don't particularly like the sound quality. I have to turn it up really loud to even hear it well.
