More upgrades to my 2006 Cayenne Turbo S. The car has the full package from the factory, PCM 2.1, Nav, hands free phone with SIM slot. I need to add bluetooth, IPOD, USB for a droid, and would like to get a backup camera in the mix.
I believe that Dension has the best MOST system adapter for BT/IPOD/HD radio, USB. Correct me if I'm wrong or you think I may be wrong.
I don't know if a backup camera can also be integrated into this setup. I don't know if the native screen on the PCM 2.1 system can do camera resolutions at all. Anyone?
And then with all of this, am I better off with an aftermarket head unit? Which?
Thanks in advance.

I have a '06 Turbo S and mine has the factory backup camera which has a decent color resolution and fairly good resolution at night with just the backup lights. An aftermarket backup camera can be fitted if you don't have the factory backup. I also have the Mobridge with Bluetooth and and IPOD adapter which works well.

The cost of the Mobridge, or the Dension which is a little cheaper, are still themselves almost as much as a good, new head unit. I found a thread here about an Alpine unit that might work. The question going that route is obviously one of integration. The head unit might not be expensive, but labor is. I need to find out how easily an aftermarket unit would integrate.
But thanks to you, I know now at least the plan I had will work and allow me the use of a camera. Appreciate it.
