I considered the Dension, but the price and having to get a dealer involved was too much. The cabin is on the noisy side anyway so having the perfect sound system is kind of a waste in my opinion.

Ok, I have decided to do what you suggested. My brother in law, coincidentally works for Alpine and he got the device and will install it for me. He is asking me to check with you to see if you needed any antenna adapters. I will appreciate it if you let me know.

Im also curious to know where you installed it? Not sure if you could shoot me a quick photo of it with your phone. Will the stereo have to be removed to connect the Alpine device to antenna?

I really appreciate whatever info you can give me.

I used a similar type box to connect my Sirius radio to my CDR23. Sounds great with no interference from local radio stations.
You probably will need a set of antenna adaptors to go from the standard round antenna plug to the mini plug on the car. I have a spare set I can sell you cheap.

Just an update. I purchased the Alpine device recommended earlier in this post. My brother in law installed it today. I am so surprised at the excellent sound quality. For me it is perfect. I am so happy I didnt pay the $1200 the Porsche dealer wanted or even paid the $500 for the Dension unit suggested and then have had to pay the dealer for the security code.

Thanks for everyones input and help. If anyone needs help installing one of these I could explain what my brother in law did on mine.
