I have been watching the offerings of mp3car.com but not yet found it.
What I want is something that connects directly to the Porsche stereo, is controlled by the car's stereo, and charges the iPod. None of that cigarette lighter or wireless FM transmitter stuff.
For example, Crutchfield's
can't be controlled by the car's stereo and does not charge the iPod. I will know more by the time I get my car.
In any case, I will have XM installed prior to delivery.

Porsche's solution is a far cry from the Dension product. Feel free to email me anytime.
Dension Gateway 500 is on our order page, and it will give you direct digital sound into the fiber optic loop, straight to your head unit. Have PCM/NAV, then it will show all your info on the screen, without the iPod being in the cabin (glove box or trunk is just fine). And you control the entire thing from the head unit.

Yes, it uses the MOST system and is a small silver box. You simply install it under the plastic cover in the front and it stays there. It comes with an AUX for RCA input, USB for memory stick and a iPod connection. Simply plug the iPod in and go to CD and the system brings up the iPod and the playlist as if it was in your hand.
No, I do not have the BT.
