Hola,
Looking for some help from former Cayenne owners in the Orange County California area. Never owned one and looking at ordering one today. considering ordering a 2009 from what i can read it might be worth the wait....Is having bluetooth and touch that big of a deal? Would love some advice on where to go and who to talk to.

please and thank you

 

For what it's worth; I have a Range Rover with touch screen Nav and I prefer the system in the 08 GTS. The nav screen in the RR always has finger prints all over it..... You always have to touch the screen a couple times to get it to respond.

As for bluetooth, I think its a huge PITA. You don't always want your calls on speaker phone when there are other people in the car with you? I found it more annoying than a convenience. Another example, I was standing by the RR with it running talking to someone who was interested in buying it and my cell phone rings. It goes to the bluetooth and I couldn't answer it unless I wanted this individual to hear the whole conversation. Just a pain if you ask me, I'd rather wear one of those ridiculous looking ear pieces (ONLY IN THE CAR!!!!) to be hands free.

 

thanks chuck...you stuck it perfectly. every car i own that has touch navi is covered in prints. My M5 with i drive always stays clean

and bluetooth im still a old school plug in the wire thing and talk. its a pet peeve of mine to see people wearing the wireless bluetooth while they are ordering there venti whatever from bucks.

 

Touchscreen nav answer=Wipes to clean screen
Bluetooth=On phone press (Transfer to Handheld)

I hate those bluetooth ear pieces.

+XM Traffic on Nav
+Hard Drive with USB
+IPOD


If you can find a GTS with the options you want then scoop it up. There are better aftermarket navigations then Porsche will ever offer.

If you are willing to drive up to Rusnak Westlake (or at least call) PM me and I will give you a great contact.

Good Luck!

 

Wait for the 2009, it will have a better resale value, plus it will have the touch screen navi (think of it this way, if it was not better than the current one, porsche wouldn't come up with the touch screen one), and bluetooth and the universal audio input thingy. Well, you decide..

 

agree with chuck; spouses Rover nav always has prints - maybe i should lift some and do a comparo!

 

talk to tim churchill at mckenna porsche in norwalk.

 

bluetooth defintely

 

Thanks left a message yesterday

 

Got the RR also. Depending on what phone you have, can just click to cancel speakphone and the handheld will get the call. Takes all of one second to do.

 

thanks for all the help...i think i found what i was looking for...now i just have to get the M5 out of the garage

 

was tim able to help you?
