Hi All,
I have one of the original units which I don't believe were available in the U.S. but I can confirm the sound quality is great and as good as you're ever going to need in a high performance sports car. http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...pscfc27499.jpg I may be wrong but never really saw the need for paying for a top-end sound system where there's lots of background noise from an engine, fan, tyres, exhaust etc. But, I don't mind paying for something which will do everything well....and it does. I'm also pleased to see they have addressed the problems of the piddly little control buttons. I notice that the advert shows an iPod/Phone connector but I've always found the bluetooth option on mine to be more than adequate for playing music and phone connectivity. My only other reservation is that the screen is not very big and and in a RHD car quite difficult to see during daylight (reflections), althought this should be much better for a LHD car. The verbal sat-nav instructions however are brilliant and on-point. Cheers, Paul I've seen those Chronos before, where did you get that? RB |
Hey Paul, I've seen those Chronos before, where did you get that? RB Here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heuer-Dash...item3aa36659c2 Cheers, Paul |
I would love a radio like this in my 964's but the price quoted in the article is scary.
|
I'm not so sure about this one. It doesn't appear to have any better sound shaping than the CDR-220, which is just treble/bass. The screen size and placement can't be great for navigation. The only thing that is really going for it is bluetooth, but that's an easy add-on to a stock radio. Luckily, it's at least absurdly expensive. ;)
|
What a bloody stupid, over priced, ugly piece of crap. Seriously - why would you bother? I am sure all owners of 964's also own a smartphone which has all these capabilities any how. Just sayin'....

Love this new version. But with sooo many other products that will undoubtably have better software, features and cheaper from giants like TomTom & Garmin etc I'm not buying. Especially considering it doesn't even feature digital radio... I'd expect it at that price to be 'future' proof.
It's definitely form over function. Although I'm very happy to see Porsche even producing this kind of 'niche' product. 2nd gen now, so there's clearly a market... |
The nav screen is so small that who will be able to see it while driving?
I agree with the others who say a 911 is too noisy for a large investment in a stereo. The only time I listen to my CDR-220 is with the engine off. |

I just wish the damned thing was available in the US...
|
I have had one ordered for 6 months already. Not available in the USA yet...something to do with the mapping.
|
nice that Porsche is still paying attention to the older models.
|
I'll believe it when I see it. They've been promising this thing in the US for years. Still not available.

Sorry to break in on this thread but I was wondering if this unit shows the album covers or just the text? In our 928's the radio is placed lower in the dash so I don't want te read...

If you go to "info" while playing a music source such as iPod, it shows album cover art.
