You can't control the iPod with the stereo with any cable. The cable allows you to listen to your iPod through the stereo without having to resort to the horrible FM transmitters.

There has to be a cable to handle the iPod instead of the CD changer?
Any suggestions wich stereo to swap to if there is not such a cable?
I do like the navigation, so it would be cool with a navigating stereo
that has conection to the iPod like in newer cars.

iPod controlling head units do exist, but the CDR220 won't do it.
Crutchfield might have something

That Becker Cascade 7944 is a sweet set up :
- Bluetooth for the cell phone
- Voice command capability
- Navigation with traffic
- Ipod interface with display

That is a SWEET unit if your looking to stay with the stock look.
I wonder if it would just be a plug and play with the wire harness that is already in our cars? Any thoughts?
I searched for a price, the only price I saw for it was 749euro.

Ok, bought the ipod adaptor that Chills described and Radio keys on ebay new for $7.95 free shipping. Total cost $52.03. Not bad considering FM modulator is horrible. I will try to snap a few pix when I install if anyone is curious. I will post some results after I am finished.
Thanks!

mmmhmmm.... The best, I think.. I heard that it was only available up to 2000? The green color, tan interior, and the wheels are just a great combo... What do they call the wheels we have? were they an ooption?(i bought mine used..)

I think they are called Sport Classic II wheels.
I have black interior. I would sell my left testicle for the tan interior, though. The black is way too hot in the summer and I like the way the tan looks with the dark green.
My next Porsche will have tan.

iPhone 3G
Has anyone got any mods/cables/whatever to work with iPhone 3G?
What I'm looking to do is put a dock IN one of the actual cup holders that I can push in/out as I wish (2002 Base Boxster). Problem is, I am looking for some kind of info on cup-holder removal/assembly.
Also, I want make sure this will charge my iPhone 3G....
Anyone?
unavita: Awesome looking set-up. Kudos!
