Bluetooth, dual USB, streaming (Pandora, Spotify), Sirius connection, handsfree phone, etc. Like the other high-end Kenwood units, it has customizable colors and dimming levels, so I was able to match the other gauges in my 2002 986S perfectly. The dual USB feature was important to me, since I like to keep my iPhone charging from the front USB in one of the cupholders above the radio, while the second USB connection runs under my center console and into the console storage area, to a 128GB flash drive that has ~500 albums saved in lossless FLAC format for better sound quality than the compressed MP3s on my iPhone.
The new Porsche units are nice, but they cost literally 10X as much as a decent aftermarket headunit.  |
Meh. A decent Apple CarPlay HU is going to cost at least $250 plus installation equipment. An equivalent HU to the Prosche one is significantly more as you'd need to price out one with built in navigation. Closer to 2-3x the price, which is still significantly more. However, it is OEM, and that counts for something with many people.
