Does anyone have this unit working with the PCM? I have an 04 with the PCM cd/nav. I was going to replace the whole head unit to get ipod and be able to control it with the head unit, but this looks like a good option if it really works.
They recommend professional installation, but am wondering if it is a do-it yourself job.

In looking into this further, I am wired for the CDC, but the car doesn't currently have one. I saw something in the install manual that this feature might have to be enabled by the dealer.
Does anyone know if this is generally true?

Yes it is, it takes the dealer 10 minutes, you have to normally pay for 1 hour labor.

I don't think the install is any different since all you are doing is inserting the Dension unit in the fober optic loop and then setting the dip switches to tell it what config you have. The Dension website has all the manuals available for download.

I would assume anywhere since it is basically like computers sitting on a network.

I think it is specific if you have a CDC. If you do not, then it can go anywhere in the loop. The easiest is where I installed mine (at the amp) based on previous readings from other installs.
