+1 That's what I do in my wife's car. It doesn't have an iPhone/iPod interface but it does have an AUX input and that works just fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that.

I play it through the Bluetooth adapter on my Dension in my 997. I have a Nav-TV tooki in my Cayenne and I never was able to figure out if I could play through Bluetooth on it.
Aux works too, but if you can get the Bluetooth working its pretty slick.

I have used Pandora in conjunction with the AUX jack in my 09 997.2. I have a DROIDX on verizon network and it works without issue for me. In fact, I have chosen this method over reactivating my XM radio based on the quality and the results.

I may be getting picky here, but I tried streaming Pandora via my AUX jack on my Blackberry, and I was unimpressed with the quality of the sound, and the fact that the PCM doesn't display the song/artist information. This may be due to the fact that my Blackberry is a couple years old, so I went yesterday to Verizon to look at the Droid X. My brother has an X, so maybe I'll try his out before forgetting it all and just going to AT&T and getting an iPhone.

I have very few problems streaming Pandora in high quality mode even in Edge coverage areas. The network probably isn't nearly as saturated in the Iowa/Wisconsin area, though.

You don't really expect the headphone jack to send song info down the pipe do you? It is just a plain old "low-tech" analog connection like has been used for audio since the early 1900's or so (see wiki TRS Connector).

FWIW, the "audio portion" of the iPod connection through the iPod interface is also analog - an iPod limitation, not PCM. The sound quality there is also just *OK*.
