Yes, I got mine from Eric.

You need to update the Porsche software to recognize the Dension. The dealer charged me $70(!!!) using their standard P tester software - took them 3 minutes to do it. They claimed they wanted to cover the software cost. I heard other dealers do it for free or at least for less than I paid (I was the first one doing it at my dealer).

Sound quality is great and I don't miss my old fm modulator at all...

Interesting. My understanding is that CDR-23 does not support displying track names.

Did you use the config to make it display CD text? If so, was this using the 1.05 firmware?

I didn't do the install, but I asure you I see see the track names. I saw them on the previous firmware level as well (1.04).

Are you seeing the names on the CDR or the NAV? I don't have the NAV unit...

I also have the cdr23 (with the latest firmware) and don't think that it supports the track names. (both the dealer & stereo installer worked on it) It's been working great but have only been able to access those first 4 playlists through the hard buttons. I don't know if it is a configuration issue or what, but I can only bring up menu choices (visible on ipod screen) - no way to 'select' them. Dealer told me to press the track change **** but no go. Until I can 'select', I can't get the Dension to charge the ipod while it's plugged in. Anyone else have this issue?
