Sounds great and hasn't malfunctioned yet. Has anyone had problems with this system?
My version of NavTV bugs:
1. Unless in Random mode, one cannot access more than 99 songs on a playlist. The list cuts off at song #99.
2. Title of a song on PCM does not automatically advance. This means track 1 remains on screen even when we have moved on to track 2, 3 or 4. Problem: if you try to skip when track 4 is played (with track 1 displayed on screen), system will not jump to track 5 but will play track 2.
Here are a few bugs I can think of.
I mean can a GT3 fail to look bad. Dec 28, 2006 2:43:45 PM

Re: Just installed NAV TV for Ipod
With all due respect to others here who have this system in their car and no offence intended, but personally speaking, if a system does things like that, there's simply no chance I would ever fit a system like that in my car.
When you buy a 997, you are getting a precision-engineered car that should run perfectly. Why introduce something that bug-prone into it?
And for what? So that I can play songs from my iPod? But the PCM plays mp3 CDs perfectly. Why would I need an iPod connection?

I respect your opinion, but I drive 56 miles round trip everyday and sometimes in heavy California traffic. I mainly use my XM radio. There is the driving experience which includes driving the car, and to me listening to music which adds to the driving experience. I love my XM radio. Once you listen to XM you will never go back to CD's or regular radio. Plus, my ipod has close to 10,000 songs on there, so this is a must for m3. I knew I was taking a risk doing this but the guys who installed this are very reputable and do many porsches. They weren't cheap but worth every penny. My only advice is if anyone does this spend the money and go with the best.

Please post some pics of TV screen-shot on the PCM!!
Thanks!
Berfes and JimFlat6: I think you are misled by the company name "Nav-TV." In this case they are making an iPod integration kit and currently do not have a TV or video option that plays on the PCM. The Nav-TV kit being referred to is only to play an iPod through the PCM (with control of the iPod through the PCM -- this device takes the place of the CD changer and plays some tricks so that the PCM is thinking it is still talking to and controlling the CD changer.)
