Just got XM radio installed!

Thanks to Suncoast, I was able to get XM radio installed on my 997.1 with all the integration of PCM. I was very disappointed to find out that "Porsche" did not offer XM for their sports cars but after a little searching on the forum I found that there was a way to integrate the Cayenne XM unit with the 997.1. So I bought the kit and the dealer installed it on Friday. Don't know how this compares to the Nav TV solution but this is all OEM so it won't void the warranty.

3 hrs at 145 per hour.
no not FM modulation, it is directly integrated into PCM and shows up as a separate input (Sat)

I am so jealous. My dealer said they would not do it and the regional PCNA guy gave them explicit instructions for this not to be done. So frustrating.

I have the NAV TV unit installed in my '06 Carrera, and it integrates very well with the PCM as well. If your dealer will not do the installation, get the unit from Suncoast or NAV TV and any reputable independent shop shopuld be able to put it in. I agree with the other posters that Porsche should have designed sat radio into the cars to begin with.

I have thought about calling over to Atlanta to see what the dealers said over there. In Birmingham there is only one Porsche Dealer.
