Default PCM 3.0 in 2010 Cayman looking for Aux in

As noted above I can't find a 3.5mm aux in on my new to me Cayman. I have Bose and full Nav. Where would it be? If I don't have it can it be added? I really love to play Pandora through my phone on long drives. I do have Bluetooth and my phone is connected and works.

If it was included it should be in the center console bin towards the e-brake side

I've got a power outlet there but no 3.5 mm aux in. Can it be added to my system?

It took me 2 weeks to find the aux. jack in my '11 Cayman. Open the lid behind the power outlet. The aux. jack is in that compartment.

Not all of them came optioned with that upgrade. You can add it in using this part and some professional install help(if needed).

Nav-TV also has an expensive version that I've never used before and not sure why you would if the first part from SunCoast works. That said, I've never installed any of them personally so I can't really validate the fitment. My guess is that the OEM part requires coding and activation via PIWIS or Durametric whereas the NavTV system includes the coding in it's module.

Mine only has the aux jack, not the Ipod connection or USB port.

Thanks Nick! I wonder if anyone reading has installed the Suncoast part? I'll call Suncoasf tomorrow and verify that it requires Dealer programming via PIWIS.

Can you post a pic? The pic in the link to the Suncoast part shows where I have an additional power outlet, but I can't find a aux in there.

In my car, the power outlet is in the small compartment directly parallel to the E brake handle. The aux port, as shown in the pic, is in a bigger compartment just to the rear of the that small compartment. For reference, the red object is the passenger seat belt latch.

Thanks, my car doesn't have an aux in the location. I'll look into the Suncoast option or order XM Sat radio

I believe Porsche only made it a standard option in 2011 from what I have been seeing. Earlier cars may have it but you had to pay extra. In 2011 it had to be optioned but it was at no charge.

Porsche has always been way behind when it comes to audio although I've heard the newer cars are much better.

Yeah, I had an 08 Cayenne TT and the audio was disappointing.

I think its their way of saying our cars are about performance.
