Hey... I got one too!

FINALLY I got this thing to work.... FINALLY!

I got the unit as well; bought it from Eric at Bumperplugs. Props to him as he's been working with Dension and really pushing to get these units out there to us non-pcm people. I took the word of advice above and went to see Jamey at Rawlings as well (in Monrovia, CA -- they also have a west side location.)

While the install seems straight forward, there's no substitute for doing it right the first time. You can go through prior posts I've put out on the subject, as this was a second attempt at installing the unit (this one was the newer unit -- the upgrade helped.)

Not only was Jamey's group professional and detailed, Jamey followed me down to the Porsche dealership to program the CD-Changer correctly. That made a huge difference. I can't recommend these guys enough, and I'm digging the iPod.

FYI, my 987 is MY05, non-nav CDR24, Bose amp. The Gateway 500 is downstream from the head unit and before the Bose amp. DIPS 1-3 were off (or down) and DIP 4 was on (or up). The PIWIS seemed to detect the unit on the MOST bus; it simply had to be properly provisioned.

Also, on an aside, if you have to wait around for the install, he and his other installer Chris are a freakin' sitcom -- hillarious.
