Re: It's $14.95 installed and you can have both....
I don't think that either factory contacts or dealers not knowing is actually grounds for dismissing this...After all Porsche is the company that made a worldwide announcement about the exhaust tip recall, yet for several days after (and the official press release was on their website) neither 1-800 Porsche Customer Service,or the dealer network seemed to know anything about it

Re: iPod Connector Porsche OEM Available APRIL 2006
According to my dealer, the iPod mount is a no-go for now. Here's what his email said:
"I just spoke with David who spoke with the representative for Porsche Parts North America. The are no plans for an ipod kit/part/adaptor for quite a while.Specifically, there are no plans for it. This is a reliable source ...David did tell me that there are aftermarket kits available for the 997 that you might want to look into.Believe me, if it was available, I'd make sure that you received it"

Re: iPod Connector Porsche OEM Available APRIL 2006
It's coming -- in fact if you read the rennlist link earlier in this thread (posted by jfraser), one of the engineers that worked on the adapter confirmed it's already made, just a matter of marketing releasing it.
I was told April, so I, a long with all of you, are sitting tight.

AJ - I hope you are not the bringer of false hopes !!!
And how about some pics of that model you posted about a while back while we wait !!!
I'm hoping it doesn't turn out to be that way, my service manager has earned my trust!! I check with him every week about this thing and he says the same thing all the time "It's coming this month, we are waiting on it, I will call you."
Of course, I don't let him do that, I call him...and as for the girl, PM me your e-mail address or e-mail me direct at ajcastaneda@mac.com and I'll send you some of her...some guys here have already asked about the beaut...and for you NY Metro people, she may come out on the trip with us this summer.
iPod - flash (nano) or hard disk based? (slightly OT)
I apoligize in advance since my post is slightly off-topic.
I am the happy owner of a 996C2 with the X74 (-30mm) sports suspension. I am going to install Dension Icelink in order to connect an iPod to my CDR22 unit.
I really would like to buy the iPod (video) with a 30GB hard disk drive, but how sensitive is the hard disk to shocks and vibrations? Will it be able to cope with my stiff suspension? Should I settle for an iPod nano which uses flash memory and thereby is not affected by shocks and vibrations?
Thanks in advance,
/fantasma

June/July
Check this out: http://support.dension.com/dension/icelinkgateway500.php
The page now says that the Denson unit will be avaiable from Porsche at the end of June.
A local (Austin) Denson dealer said that Denson told him he would have the unit at the end of April. However, I'd more rely on the site date of June which likely means July for us.

Hmm interesting...I will follow up with my SM on Monday to see if this is the unit he was talking about.

IT HAS ARRIVED
Just spoke to my service manager today -
The adapter has arrived at the dealership! It is available for PCM cars only (987's with CDR-24: an adapter will follow later) as of now. It will cost, as stated earlier $300-500. They don't know how much to charge for it yet, but at that price, it isn't much - especially when compared to the CD changer.
Labor is minimal (less than an hour) - involves just removing the unit and connecting cabling. Because I have an appointment for my 987 windblocker coming up in the next few weeks, I will be able to take pictures of one of their first installations. They have not installed the adapter on a car yet.
I promise you all - I will have pictures of the installation once I get to my dealership to get service work done on my car.
Great news!
For you doubting Thomases out there - PM me if you want to hear it from my service manager himself, he'll be happy to take your call.

Re: iPod Connector Porsche OEM Available APRIL 2006
Jfraser called my service manager yesterday at Manhattan Motorcars - he referred him to the dealer's audio installer - Technik 1 and the head guy there confirmed that the adapter my SM was talking about IS the DICE/Dension connector that was discussed earlier on this board. The time frame is 3 weeks according to him.
Of course this just confirms my original post. But I will have pictures once they do their first install!

Re: iPod Connector Porsche OEM Available APRIL 2006
aj,
This sounds like fantastic news! What we need now is the detail about what equipment is needed, how it's all installed, what the cost is, how it operates (full manual control or playlists only) and definitely - we need pictures! Plus, we need your report on how good the sound quality is.
A lot of desperate people are depending on you!
