Still looking guys. Question; is there an aftermarket product that will allow me to watch a movie from my ipod on the pcm? If i missed it ,a link to the thread with this info would be helpful. Thanks guys.

 

You could go for an aftermarket head unit, touch screen, etc. For about $2k you can get a beautiful 8 inch, full color touchscreen that has DVD player, Garmin Nav, iPod integration, and BT.

However, if you want the factory PCM look, it's not possible in the 997 yet.

Dension makes a video add-on to their Gateway 500 unit, but it works only in the Cayenne whose head unit is capable of accepting video-in sources. I met with them at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this month, and they sounded confident that they'd find a solution, which, as with all their solutions, leverages the OEM head-unit, controls, and screen.

Thanks. You didn't happen to get an est. of when they will have a solution?

 

The PCM 3 has such capabilities, in the UK website Porsche sells an add on that allows watching TV, therefore watching DVD's shouldn't be a major leap.

The TV tuner, available on request, is capable of receiving analogue and digital free-to-air television broadcasts (DVB-T) to provide entertainment between journeys. For your safety, the TV picture is switched off while the car is in motion."

 

Nav-TV also has a product but it seems that it too is limited to the Cayenne
