There are a few out there, most are now hybrids, a mix of electrostatic or magneplaner with cone speakers. Maggies still have their fans.

Post in the 996 section or 996 turbo section. You'll get the answer you need.

Yes.
You can purchase a Dension adapter (from Bumperplugs.com, Eric is a Rennlist sponsor) or a mObridge adapter (IIRC, mObridge is also a sponsor).

The infotainment design is (95%) common between the Carrera/Boxster and Cayenne, so searching in those forums will provide you with plenty of information, reviews, installations, etc.

both have been used by numerous RL members.

Great...another section to keep me up way too late at night. LOL

As a musician I've always enjoyed audio equipment. There is a lot of good stuff out there and some pretty looking stuff but not ture sounding to my ears.

Anyway, I do not claim to have the best gear but it shocks a lot of people. My current home theater set up in a dedicated room, acousticall treated with custom sound material for front section of room, rear of room is hard walls and ceiling for suround speakers. This was mostly finish back on October 2004.
Room is 24' wide by 22' long, 2 tiers 8 seats total
Da-Lite 106"
Sim2 720P projector ISF calibrated
Equipment mounted in Middle Atlantic pull out racks
Panamax power centers
direcTv HD DVR
McIntosh Amps
McIntosh A/V Pre-Pro
Klipsch Ref 7 mains centers and rears
2- Klipsch Ref 15" subs mounted in block wall inside of custom made scoops for each speaker
Sony Playstation for Blu-Ray and DVD

My main car for work..lots of road travel is a 09 Mini Cooper S
Stock Head Unit
Apline ImPrint Processor
JL Audio Digital Amps
JL 10" sub in custom box
HertZ speakers 3 way fronts

OK, I'll chime in here. I have a large semi-dedicated room with a combination of soft and hard surfaces that ends up being balanced pretty well acoustically. My equipment is mounted in a rollaway equipment rack which is my favorite recent upgrade; so much easier to get to my gear.

96" Stewart filmscreen
Epson 1080P projector ISF calibrated
Definitive Technology Bipolar towers w/15" 300w subs built in
Def Tech Center, Side and Rear surrounds
Adcom power amps
Integra 9.8 Pre/Pro
LG BluRay w/built in hard drive and Internet/Pandora access
DirecTV HD receiver
Monster power center
B&O turntable w/B&O MM3 cartridge

In my study is a "vintage" system, that I've restored or built myself. It's where I go to read and relax or just turn out the lights and listen while watching those tubes glow!

H.H. Scott LC21 tube preamp
Scott LT110 tube tuner
ST120 tube amp (upgraded Dyna Stereo 70 chassis kit designed by Bob Latino)
AR turntable w/Shure V15 Type 4 cartridge
AR3a speakers

Nothing outrageously expensive, just well reviewed, reasonably affordable equipment. I'm not one of those people who believe in $1000 interconnects or hugely expensive "golden ear" components. I enjoy great quality with good value.
