"i still would pay big bucks for the denison thing"

Well, it looks like on a relative basis, we Porsche owners will be paying the bigger bucks. In a shameful cut and paste from that other (lesser) Boxster board, I submit the following (originally courtesy of Boxsterbret).

Dension has announced that it will will be distributing DICE Electronics’ new iPod integration kits. DICE offers three kits—Hard-Wired to MOST, Hard-wired to CDC and Hard-Wired FM-RDS—which give you “the highest in sound quality, controls from your radio and steering wheel, charging for your iPod, unlimited playlist selections and more.” The MOST kit ($400) is for Mercedes Benz and Porsche vehicles vehicles utilizing the MOST fiber optic bus. The CDC kit (from $160; Audi, Acura, BMW, GM, Honda, Lexus, Mini, Mazda, Mercedes, Scion, Toyota and VW) allows you to connect an iPod to your vehicle’s factory entertainment system through the CD changer port. The FM-RDS kit (from $160) works with all vehicles with FM radio and a universal antenna port, and offers static free FM modulation. DICE is also selling an optional $60 iPod video cradle.

On a self-serving note, this helps to clear up my earlier confusion from several posts down.

There's no way I'm going to buy the DICE integration kit - I'm going to order the real Dension unit from Europe.

I suspect that the DICE kit will be buggy whereas Dension Europe has been a MOST Cooperation member for years and has had access to much more information on the MOST bus.
