I agree with what some have said here. I would invest the money in a killer home audio system. I have a higher end Onkyo with Polk Monitor 70's, Polk surrounds and sub and it is listening bliss. Not premium, but great for me. I listen to my home stereo 3-4 times a week, drinking some vino and nothing is better. Listen to the sounds of your car in the car. You can't get that at home. And if you like HiFi stereo in your car, do it in your luxury sedan, not your sports car.

I optioned the Burmester. I am very happy with it, and the sound is incredible.
I have 2 toddlers here at home. I almost NEVER have a moment to relax and listen to music, or otherwise isolate myself. I actually need to hear what is going on in my house when I am home. When I am driving, however, it is my moment. If there IS a problem at home, I won't miss a call--the music will be interrupted by the phone/bluetooth-- so I can crank it up and really enjoy the music in the one place where am not expected to be 'on call'.
The glass of wine sounds great, too, but I'll have to skip that part.

I agree if we are talking about a raw sports car like the GT3 or 2. For some they DD there regular carrera S and do time on the freeway, where you cant really enjoy the engine note. So for them a nice stereo would come in handy. I am like humphrey, I have 2 little ones at home and can not sit and enjoy a stereo. I can't even enjoy it in my CTT when they are in it.

I checked both bose and burmeister. The bose is the same as the rest.
But the new Burmeister is really good. Thats worth buying in my opinion. If I order the car, Ill pay the 5000 for that option.

After a few days with the BOSE - it's terrible. Like completely awful - even when adjusted treble/bass. I don't listen to CD's. I will pop in an iPod soon to test the aux quality. My MP3's and AAC's are encoded at 320kbps or better.
Did anyone else's car come with an iPod cable I don't think mine did.

c/mon porsche...$2500 for BOSE and you get no $9 cable????

I think I may be wrong then. I thought USB transmits everything - data and audio.
#56
USB only transmits digital data - no audio at all. So there is a USB and an 1/8th" jack in the glovebox side by side. If you just plug in your iPod to the USB you will get the song list on your PCM screen - and you can control your song ff/play/ etc.. but no sound will come out.
All my cars have this same situation. 2012 Jeep, BMW X5 (2012), previous 997.2, M3, etc.

Thanks much. Sorry for any confusion. On my M3 the "pigtail" was required - see below:
