IPOD? I know it's been asked 1000 times

[hqduong]

OK. I called every dealer in the state of California, and you know California has a lot of Porsche Dealers. I gotten wide answers from any day soon to the Part is in order, but don't know the arrival date.

I know this has been asked like 20 billion times. But does anyone have any reliable information?

I hate the aftermarket stuff, I'm an O.E.M. guy.

Thanks ahead.

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 too would like to find a more cost effective solution. I don't even need to have the Ipod powered, I just want a cable that I can plug into a CDR-24 MOST (non-bose, no Navi) head and be able to plug in my Ipod. Doesn't seem like it would be that difficult.

If anyone hears something or knows of something other than a $450 solution, please post. I am going to call Becker on Tuesday after the holiday to see if they have any solutions.

I don't know if the 987 has an external CD changer option, but if it does you might be able to wire a 3.5mm cable in.
