Inline FM Transmitter - Drive + Play?

Hi folks,

Finally took possession of my 2007 S, and am absolutely loving it! Going a bit crazy not being able to rev it past 4,200 though, this is going to be a loooong 2,000 miles. So without the beautiful sound of an engine revving up high, I need to make due with some good music. I've read through all the posts I could find about hooking up an iPod to the CDR24 in the 987's, and all I really need is a simple way to plug in an 1/8" adapter, so I can feed it my iPod, my GPS unit, my laptop.. anything with the standard audio jack.

I recently found this on Amazon, and it's dirt cheap. Looks like it's a simple 1/8" audio connector, so should do the trick.

I don't *think* it requires the full HK Drive + Play system, but I'm really not sure, and can't find any more details on any websites about it. Anyone have any experience with this unit? And would any adapters be needed to connect to the Porsche antenna, or are these standard now? And finally, in my research I found a link to two little keys that are needed to pull the factory radio out -- is that all that would be needed then to install this thing?

1. Insert the two keys to remove radio
2. Pull out factory radio
3. Attach the factory antenna into the Drive + Play device
4. Attach the antenna lead from Drive + Play to the factory radio
5. Run the 1/8" end cable behind the radio to somewhere accessible in the cabin?


Thanks for any and all comments, or if someone can recommend any other inline FM transmitters (the over the air ones just don't cut it, I'm going insane changing frequencies all the time, so I think inline is the way to go for my needs).
