They should have no problems reverse engineering the CAN protocol for this adapter.....much easier than dealing with MOST.
A day or so with a donor vehicle and a CANalyzer and you're done. (No, I think I'll pass, thank you)

The web site says its will only be applicable for 05 and 06. Why not 04 models? With this set up will the small on screen display still work as well?

I don't know anything about these folks or their product, sorry......hopefully they're not a subsidiary of DensionUSA. 
Any PCM/CDR/Headunit info to be displayed would have to be passed thru this unit and the appropriate commands transmitted.
With a Canalyzer, I can send any message I want to the dash mounted MFD.....yes, I've come up with some creative ones that never made it to production!......I don't know if that's what they're intending to do or just use the steering wheel buttons.

Think I'm wrong, look at the latest sales numbers and yearly reports. Porsche customers will bitch and complain, but in the end, they'll still make the purchase....don't think for a split second PAG/PCNA doesn't know this.........trust me on this one.

But, I would not hesitate to purchase a CTS+4 Cayenne Twin Turbo S, fourth generation, to replace the wife's CT, once the time comes. Listening to her recount the superiority of my electronics is a free perk.
