PCM-1 (Porsche Communication Management)

I dont know if it will sorry ... I think anything is possible if you have the wiring skills, but for me I wanted something that had ZERO wires or car-modifications and decent audio quality.

I bought this one:

A FM Transmitter and a very good one, it was rated best in iPod Lounge, a online magazine who take ipod accessories very seriously.

I bought the ProClip and a black iPod video (5G). It's all black and because you can disconnect the charger from the FM transmitter the actual integration becomes very clean (not 1 wire) and the iPod lasts 4-5 hours, and takes max. 1 hour to recharge. I live in Copenhagen the capital of Denmark and I have just one frequency I use all the time, when I drove to Italy through Germany and Austria I had to change a few times. The sound is great really also at loud volumes. However bad mp3 quality (less than 128 kbps comes out pretty bad)

No unnecessary details, holds the iPod firmly, easy install for a phone replacement.

I got my 16Bit navigation from Porsch-a-part used ! I paid 400£ which is perhaps a bit too much, but after having looked online for some time I was desperate and the 'new price' from the dealer is 1.300 £ incl. 2003-2004 cards which I am told are not very great.

Thanks.

I agree with you that the PCM looks better than the aftermarket units.

The only PCM unit that I have found so far is an 8 bit unit. The price is reasonable, but I would have to upgrade to the 16 bit unit, and that would be an additional expense.

I might be able to figure out some kind of adapter for the iPod. I like having it hardwired and powered by the car.
