What is the easiest way to get music from my ipod in my porsche? Is it possible just to disconnect the cd changer and connect the ipod instead of the cd changer via AUX Cable?

 

What year car? If you have MOST ('03 and up) then you have 2 options:

easy...fm modulator
better sound...Dension gateway 500.

 

Dension for '03 and above. Hands down. We have them in stock as well.

 

What about a 2001?

 

for up to 2002 (not MOST) you just need 3 components:

• ipod 30 pin cable to blue connector (back of your becker CDR/CD220
buy a cable here:

• telephone power cable: (to get switched on power only, to charge the ipod while playing)

• AC noise isolator/filter (to avoid the whinning alternator noise from the engine)

Just take out your center console/radio, plug everything, route the 30 pin ipod end whhere you want it and done.

After that, you just need to activate the Auxiliary feature on your becker and you can enjoy!

Or you can install a nice Alpine headunit with an Ipod module. Allows you to control your ipod via your headunit. I did this for a reasonable amount of $$$ and it works great.

 

my car build 98 996 has the cd changer in the trunk.

How do i know which components i'll need to hear throw aux?

 

Earphones


Sorry I couldn't resist.

 

Agreed - I did the same and installed a Speed Play Alpine cable to control the entire Ipod through the head unit. Also charges the Ipod while connected.

 

HOW MUCH?

 

First thing I thought haha

 

As the primary US distrib, we offer them at BELOW list every day.

$465 on our Order page.

 

Thanks for all that information. Where did you mount your ipod?
Cheers,
Stan
