Sucks, but also exciting. Way to put a positive spin on things. Can't wait to hear about it when its all done. Good luck.

I ordered one of these for under $15 (free local pickup) so that I can use the tape deck to play music and XM radio from my phone. I figue it's a good cheap way to keep the orignality of the car intact use the phone's features at the same time.

I got something very similar from Target. It was terrible and I returned it the same day. I also tried the FM transmitter which was ok, but the thing would not stay in the cigarette lighter.
I'm debating between maintaining the originality of the car and wanting to take it out of the stone age. Doesn't help that I'm daily driving it now.

I use an aux cable and an iSimple USB to RCA thing (way cheaper through third party sellers) which I hid behind the head unit. So I have a USB socket spitted to the owners manual clip, and it plays through the "CD" button. Charges your 'phone too, all you need to do is figure out where to put it
I thought about adding a bluetooth receiver but I always charge my phone while I'm in the car anyway, so there's little to be gained.
Before going the above route I had , which now lives in the Touareg until I can find the time to add an aux input (probably with bluetooth and phone this time) to that, too. It works pretty well but the sound's not quite as good as a hard-wired solution.And in the 996 it just gets in the way.

Navigation
I know that I would never use Navigation but it is bothering me I can't get it to work. I have correct CD and when I enter address for destination it thinks for a minute... Then says Vehicle off Map.
Is anyone else's Nav in working order; any suggestions?

Mine works although with 17 year old maps and hardware it's completely useless. I do kinda like it though.
Where are you when you're doing this? Perhaps if you're on a road that didn't exist at the end of the last century it confuses the system?

Millennium Edition rims are NOT hollow spokes.
As for the PCM-1 CDs. Does anyone have a copy of the southeastern USA PCM-1 disk and a copy program on their PC?
Any way we can get a few more of these out in circulation, assuming there isn't some crazy copy protection (probably is)?
I'd love to test my Nav, which seems to work... But I only have maps from out west.
Would be willing to trade!

Nav disk
I have Midwest disk version 2000.1 and would be willing to make copy for someone. I just wish I could find GPS antenna as mine obviously is disconnected because everything works except it won't put ck up satellites.
