I just did get the (IP-BKR2) My assumption is that this is a "simple" plug and play...

I hope to pull the radio and plug in the device that will link my Iphone. My expectation is that it will also charge my phone as well as let me hear my songs...

The question: On my 2000 S with no cup holders... Best place to run the connection? I will need to attatch and see the phone. Has anyone made this hookup happen.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have an '11 Boxster S with the PCM, so it has Ipod, USB and AUX connections.

I successfully can use the USB port (with the Apple-provided docking <==> USB cable) to charge my iPhone 4 but that port does NOT give me any audio out. (i can get audio out via the AUX, using the iPhone headphone output but then I don't get any charging.)

QUESTION: How can I use the USB port in the car to provide both charging and audio output? (plus I seem to remember that months ago when I would hook up to the USB port, I would get a message on the phone (but maybe it was on the PCM screen) to the effect of 'do you want to get power only, or power plus audio?' but I don't get that message any more.)

TIA,

Fred

Try pressing the TP button for a few seconds and selecting AUX to ON from the menu.
