I have the Porsche CDR-220 FM/CD player in my Boxster and I am perfectly happy with it, but was wondering about a few things:

1. How much of a deal is it to refit the factory hands-free phone system where the caller is heard from the car speakers and I just talk like I'm talking to a passenger? What needs to be fitted and installed to make it work? Is it only compatible with certain phones? I read about this in the factory manual and am interested in it since I am in the Army and when driving on-post, phones are outlawed unless on a hands-free system. I rode with a buddy who has a similar system in his BMW M3 and I was mighty impressed.

2. How to integrate my Sirius satellite radio into the audio system? Do I have to mount it somewhere on the interior, (ugly and I wanna avoid this if possible)? Or is there some way to feed it right into the radio from a hidden location without going through the FM transmit brouhaha that I am using in my other car? I don't like that part of it because when I get near a powerful station near the freq I have my radio receiver at, I get all kinds of static and interference.

These are probably dumb questions, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
