I posted here or on 6 Speed that my installer was having problems getting my I-Pod to play. I believe it was you that answered that perhaps my installer was the problem. Well here is extra information to consider: My installer has currently put a hold on any further installations on NEW cars. He has installed the GW500 in my car, a Carrera 4S, and a Cayanne S all with the same results - it doesn't work. The thing stays in the I-Pod user mode and won't go into the Gateway mode. The important piece of the puzzle is that all three cars are brand new. He just installed a unit in a several month old Cayanne Turbo and it works like a charm. The installer has talked with Dension who has finally acknowledged the problem, which seems to be related to change by Porsche (or its' supplier) to the PCM head unit.
So my question remains the same: Is anyone else experiencing this problem on a NEW car? (My build date was the week of May 28, 2007.) I have the latest I-Pod unit, which has the latest software updates as does the installed Dension GW500 unit.
Apparently Dension is in the process of developing some new software to make the GW500 compatible with the latest PCM configuration. I'll be happy (make that "very happy") to let you know when this problem is resolved.
