Got to drive about an hour last night with the box just hooked to my ipad while I wait for my double din stuff to show up. The sound quality is a heck of a lot better than the ipad over tranzit blu hf FM module. There is an improvement here for sure. I see no potential issues with the double din and rca to fiber box integration.

Found this while searching. Guess mine was a heck of a deal. https://avinusa.com/most-fiber-optic...e-cayenne.html

Got my double din installed through this most converter box so far so good. So simple only 3 wires to hook up!

The worst part is shipping time on the convertor.

link please?

do you need any additional adapter? does the factory fiber optics cable directly plug into the unit?

This is awesome. I put a double DIN with GPS/ Apple Car Play, rear view camera in mine a few months ago and could not be happier. I wanted GPS, rear view camera etc though.

Ordered mine last week. It looks like it might be a couple more weeks until it arrives. It is still in China awaiting international shipment. I am very anxious to get it installed though.
