Hi All,

Sorry its been busy and part of it may be me loving my new Satellite Radio add-on from Nav-TV (Sirius based). I bought my car in December of 2010 off the lot (Targa4S) and was very hopeful that Nav-TV would come out with a satellite radio add-on for PCM 3.0; they already had it for PCM 2.0, no big deal . After many emails back and forth, Tony from Nav-TV said they finally cracked the secret codes and were testing it before sending me anything. About a month ago I received the package (around $900 shipped) for the modification. I took it to Kromer radio in Toronto for professional installation ($200) and I could not be happier. Coming from my wife's BMW that has Sirius Satellite I just could not go back to regular radio.

Long story short its a great mod and I am very happy with it. Hope you enjoy my blackberry made video demo (below). Sorry about the constant droning .. its my first.

Cool - but yikes on the price.

What sort of BMW? I had an e60 550i with Sirius and it was deplorable - all swirly sounding from the data compression - I could never bear to listen to it and, ironically, my "free promo" subscription never expired the entire time I had the car. PCM3.0/XM seems much better, although the Logic 7 in the BMW was otherwise better than the Bose.

 

PCM3 is such an improvement over PCM2. I have NAV-TV Sirius with PCM2 and the inteface isn't anywhere near as nice as yours...but the Sirius does work.

 

Its a 135i '09 with the new CIC (hard drive based) -sounds fantastic. I don't love the Bose but it does a decent job. The price is not that bad if you consider the fact that buying it from Porsche costs just as much if not more.

 

Agreed. My buddy had the PCM 2.0 and he couldn't stand it. PCM is such an improvement; I think you can actually upgrade but its pricey

 

so they just sell you a new main unit?

 

I have a 2008 911 turbo cab and I would like satellite radio using the PCM, i.e. totally integrated. Any suggestions or should I just take it to the dealer? Thanks folks.

 

Go with a Nav-TV or MoBridge. Both integrate into the Most fibre bus on the PCM. You may have to find a reputable car audio shop with experience in installing these on Porsche. I doubt the dealer will do this “after-market” install.

 

Was this device discontinued by Nav-TV? I can't find it on their website, only for PCM 2, -2008 cars.
