997.2 iPod y cable for center console
 
Does anyone have the iPod interface y cable for the center console for sale? Mine was thrown away by accident and I am having trouble locating one. Thank you all!!!

I wish you luck in finding one - I gave up after weeks looking online and calling any shop that claimed to have one in stock. Just forced my decision to get CarPlay loaded.

do you mind if I ask the cost? What did you use? I think you did a DIY, would you recommend it again?

I read a bunch of forum posts here on all the options and was impressed by NM Automotive, I prefer good customer service over cheaper price. Nick responded (promptly) to all of my questions during the process. Correct, I ended up going the DIY route, just take your time on the board + ribbon cables and reinstall. All in cost was 498 euros ($530ish USD).

I installed the Rennline ball mount for the phone charger and bought the Spiegel MagSafe Charger. I'll try and post a pic tomorrow if you want.

Recent option to get Bluetooth
 
Have a look at the Tunai Firefly product. I plugged mine in C4S 2009 and it works great linked to my iPhone.

I used the Firefly for two years and it worked well. Doesn't always connect 100% pf the time; you pull the power plug out to restart. This probably happened 1 out of 15 connections. I replaced the head unit two months ago so I could get Carplay and a rear camera.

I've used the Firefly before too. Track info doesn't display on PCM nor do the skip track buttons on the PCM. But it's better than nothing

Got yer back, Jack...

I just upgraded my head unit and pulled the iPod. You are welcome to my cable if you haven't already sorted it out. I tried to find the direct message option but no dice so PM me for details.

Do you still have the Y cable? I'd be interested if available still.

The offer was for the OP so let's give him a week and see if he claims it. If not, happy to send it to you.

I bought the car (2010 C4S 1 owner w/ 72K miles and clean documentation) a few months ago and finally validated keeping that 80GB iPod around all these years. It gave me a way to listen to my music until I landed on a proper replacement solution. I have put that iPod back in the closet where it will patiently await its next call.

I've got one somewhere from my old 997.2 Turbo S. I'll look around.

I got my 2011 4S Cab this summer. I haven't justified upgrading to car play yet. So looking for Y cable to hold me through the winter, at least..
Sounds good, let's touch base in a week or so giving OP time..

Looks like you will soon be the proud owner of a 13 year old cable! I can't seem to figure out how to PM so if you want to reach out to me or post your contact info, we can sort out the logistics.

saratogamtp 09-28-2023 08:01 PM

I can't PM either. Looks like I am to new or not enough posts yet.
email: saratogamtp @ gmail.com

Who knew a 13 year old seemingly useless cable would be so important to someone. lol
Thanks
