can you fit an Ipod to a 996 with Sat Nav?

It might depend on the year, later cars have MOST bus electronics, which have eluded iPod add-ins so far....
 
That's the one.[&o]
Denison are supposed to be bringing an interface out - but nothing yet as far as I know...
 
I have just become the owner of a 996 C2 (04) with sat nav... and have been scanning around for a connector unit for an ipod, especially since the car came with everything but a CD stacker.

The closest I've come to something that might work, so far, is http://www.caraudioplus.co.uk/products.asp?partno=PORIPOD-ADP but I've emailed them (through their contacts page) with no reply. Not a good sign, unfortunately.

Anyone have any further info or leads on a unit? I have the belkin version of the itrip but it doesn't seem to like this car very much. It works when I'm touching it but not otherwise...[:(]
 
thanks - I'll probably wait Sep/Oct and hope for the ipod thingy.
I don't seem to have any time until then anyway...
 
Am I right in thinking that the Denison plugs into the CD changer port and so makes the changer redundant? (I know it wouldn't matter)

Sounds like the part that is available from the New Mini accessory catalogue. My wife had one fitted to hers.
 
Lee,
I think it plugs into the CD changer port as, reading the dension site, it says something about the "first 5 playlists appearing as the first 5 cd's of the changer" with, I gather, the "6th CD" being some sort of menu system.

And I'm still waiting on it....

I had this on both my M3s - it does indeed replace the CD changer. The biggest problem for me was that I would have loved to be able to read the track names, playlists, etc on my sat nav screen but Dension doesn't support this unless your head unit supports CD TEXT in which case it will display the track which is playing. Still it is much better quality than the iTrip I used to use.
 
Mike - If you're saying that it supports displaying the track names if the unit supports CDTEXT, then I think the MOST bus version should be good. I often burn "best of" collections (to cut down the number of disks for more music) and enable CDTEXT on the burning software and it shows up on the screen. So, here's to hoping...

Also, it might have other head-unit to ipod interface features, as it's a fibre connected unit, not just an AUX port thing.
 
Anyone heard of a functioning MOST bus (ie Fibre connected) iPod connection yet?

I keep checking ipodmycar.com but they don't seem to have it, regardless that their forums suggest it should have been out Oct/Nov last year. [&:]
