Nice write up. I plan on doing this very soon.

 

Quick update, called Alpine. 2 of my issues are not good news.

1. This unit does support Bluetooth Pandora controls with iPhone 5, only when connected via USB. Something to do with Apple's problems.
2. Alphabet skipping for Bluetooth Audio is not supported, so navigating long lists of songs is painful.

Guess Bluetooth audio is not ready for prime time with this unit, I'll have to connect iPhone for now. I did like just jumping in car with phone in pocket and going. So I can't use my 160G iPod and my phone at the same time now.

 

What have you lost in regards to dash information, outside of the radio information on the center gauge?

 

Honestly I don't know. I don't think I ever used anything on the center gauge that might have come from PCM. And since its out now, that information is not to be had

Got the video working, manufacturer had sent wrong HDMI to Analog converter box. After driving with for a few days with the iPhone connected and not Bluetooth. I like the connected a lot better.

1. Charges battery
2. Pandora controls work great, thumbs, stations selection, can create new stations

A few other things I like
1. I have Escort Live and listening music from phone I get warnings over my music. In the past I couldn't hear the radar if I was jamming, never miss an alert now. Nothing new here but new to me. Wish everyone had Live, has saved me already a few times.
2. Navigation lightly tells you the speed limit of the roads you are going onto, as a reminder.
3. I have the video working now so I can watch TV, Youtube, videos or movies on my iPhone in full screen. It mirrors the phone, so I can run any app and see it, though only landscape mode makes it worth while. I can even browse internet and show it on the screen.

Car is all buttoned up now and ready for track days this weekend.

 

Glad i was able to help, your custom background should be arriving soon.

 

Hey there don't you have to switch out the Bose amp as well? I was told by a local audio shop that most head units will not work with the amp as you are going from analogue unit to fibre optic amp. There is a converter to pass it through but it isn't that reliable.

Nice link. Guess i would have to outweigh $650 and the cost of a better amp and speakers. i think that the Bose stereo in the 997 is better than the Bose in my 06 Cayenne.

 

With this head unit or any aftermarket head unit, Does the Bose amplifier have to be changed out? I don't think this question has been answered. Want to do this but would rather not rip the whole car apart to do it.

 

No, With the MOST Hur, you keep everything in tact.

 

We try to make it as plug and play as possible. The MostHUR keep the Bose amp and if equipped the Steering Wheel controls.
