Has anyone else tried using the AUX jacks? with SAT Radio?

It also could be a grounding issue .. pick up up a 'ground loop isolator' from radioshack .. see if that cleans up the sound.

I understand you can do it anywhere in the MOST loop, and it is recommended to do it as close as possible to the head unit, which the CD changer must be next to. If you do have a CD changer, you probably don't want to fiddle with the alternatives.

Thanks a lot for the help.

How did you install the Cayenne XM option?

How did you get the XM satellite option to work using the Dension? I have a 987S with NAV and CD changer. I dont mind losing the changer if I can get XM also this would be my ideal configuration.
I am guessing that I can just use the AUX plug. How about getting power for the XM kit? Will I need to splice or will everything just plug in?

This thing is testing my patience.

Shark....we have now sent you (in multiple shipments) all of the cables you need. Like I said, since you are an engineer, and I am not, you will likely be better at this than I would.
The Yazaki cable is simply that, ONE cable with a connector end. There are no other Yazaki products other than that one cable. But someone earlier was able to remove the connector and use it accordingly.
However, I have sent all of your info to Dension for review. When they reply on Mon/Tues I will forward the details you need.
It is quite odd about the Yazaki showing on your model and frankly, ANY model other than early '03 Cayennes, as according to Porsche, those are the only models that ever had them! But as we are finding, there is more than one.
Stay the course, bud, we'll get it resolved.
Thanks.

I too have one of those weird 03 996 with the Yazaki cables.
Eric sent the orange Yazaki cable (which as you note isn't very useful by itself) and then followed it up with the two other cables. They arrived yesterday. Once I got them, I was able to connect everything up.
Thanks Eric!

This 3.5MM jack on the Roady does work in the Pioneer head unit going into another 3.5MM jack.
I was thinking maybe the Terk unit with RCA outputs might work better?
At this point though the FM Mod on the Roady sounds better than the diret connection to the Denison.

Thought this might be helpful to some of you who have the units installed and working, but not quite as perfect as you expected.
After several 997/996 installs, we have found two things.
First, when you are trying to set some of the menu settings, for example, AUX IN, if your system freezes or locks up, and won't allow you to complete the menu prompts, other than to advance it to the next setting, UNPLUG the iPod unit from the system. That seems to resolve the issue.
Secondly, for those of you who had a cd changer, and installed the unit youselves, and found the unit to be working, but still not as fast as you'd like...
Once the unit is installed, it is likely to work much better if you reprogram the system using the Porsche system tester, to re-identify where each component is. For example, if the cd changer is at point #5 on the loop, and the Dension ends up at point #2 or point #7, it will still work (Dension) once the cdc is off the loop. BUT the functionality has been significantly improved on installs when we hooked the system tester to the vehicle and reprogrammed everything.
That's all for now. More to come.
