In regards to options available for the 2007 model year, was Sat and/MP3 connectivity an additional option? What is Extended Nav?
I am looking at a car that has Nav, no 6 disk changer, and wondering if Denison or Sat Tv are the only options
Thanks

Not sure about Sat radio, but MP3/iPod connectivity was not available immediately. Porsche did create an OEM adapter using RF about 18 months later that you or a dealer could install.

Extended nav was an option in 07, became standard in 08.

Sat radio was NOT an option in 2007. I added it using NAV-TV via the aftermarket

raclaims, do you find the Nav tv setup user friendly?
How much did it cost to install?

It's fantastic actually...just like stock. You would never know it was aftermarket. Only problem was I had to have the shop fix it like 10 times! I think early on they were working out the bugs and I was one of the lucky ones they got to test on!

I got Sat radio, Ipod and tooki and they were fighting with each other and causing issues...then there was even a "cold weather" issue that needed a fix. But at this point all works flawlessly about 95% of the time. It's well worth it...just remember that it's not a stock item and will occasionally be a little annoying and you will feel better about it!

I can't remember what the whole set up cost...maybe $2K? But the dealer lost their shirt on the deal with all the times they needed to fix it. But their service was terrific.

I paid $1400 for a Sat radio kit from the Cayenne and installed it myself.

Is it fully functional as in the Cayenne? Can you hook up an MP3 player to it as well?
Thanks

I had the XM kit from the Cayenne installed on my 08 along with the Dension unit. Here is a link to the write up for this work.

The whole system works very well.

Fully functional through the Nav display, though I have not tried to hook up an MP3.
If I had it to do over, I would have it professionally installed for around $300. The unit is plug and play, but I had to remove the WS cowl to install the antenna, and drill through the firewall. Later, an installer told me there is a grometted hole behind the battery.
A better way to install the antenna would be under the carpet cutout on the rear parcel shelf.

Terry and insp185 - you put the Cayenne XM kit into an 08, can it work in an 07?

Terry Adams

Yes, my son has it in his '07 TT.

Yes, but someone let the cat out of the bag in this thread:

The H/W is identical and the S/W is 95% identical between the Carrera/Boxster and Cayenne platforms.
FWIW, PCNA and PAG were a bit perplexed when this thread came out and all of a sudden Carreras had OEM Sat Radio installs, even though they hadn't released it yet....I'm just impatient.

There are 2 other alternatives (besides the aforementioned NAV-TV) to get audio (SAT, iPod, MP3, Bluetooth) onto the MOST ring in your car:

Dension (contact Eric at Bumperplugs, RL member and sponsor)
or
mOBridge (very popular in the Cayenne forum), guys from Australia are quite competent IMHO.

lic265,
I purchased the xm kit from Sunset Imports for $633.94. Part number for the kit is 955-044-902-67. The system works perfect. In order to have iPod, I went with the Dension unit from Eric at Bumperplugs. Overall, I am very happy with install.
