Hi folks,
Hope you can help.

My son recently acquired a 2005 987 3.2 S with the CDR 24 head unit with Bose sound.

He wants to be able to connect his Ipod and other USB or Bluetooth enabled music devises to this unit.

As far as our research has uncovered this is possible via the Dension or MoBridge units. We have also been informed that it maybe possible to also replace the CDR 24 with a later 911 997 PSM2/3 unit which had theses connections already enabled

Has any installed any of the above and/or can confirm these are the only option apart from an non OEM upgrade

Secondly is it possible to retrofit the multi function steering wheel?

Thanks in Advance

Hi Chris,

yes to most of this see me on Saturday (Fatboy's)
 
Interesting response and alternative option from the U.S.

"I recently bought a 2008 Boxster S with the CDR24. I'd also like to get ipod/bluetooth connectivity.

I also found the Dension unit option. It's pretty pricey for what it does.

I hadn't heard of retrofitting the other OEM stereo, but that sound like a possibility.

Another possibility, not a cheap one, but it's the one that I'd like to go with, is to get a packaged upgrade from Car Audio Innovations. Rod Birch has been doing Porsche stereo upgrades for a long time and is well known in the Porsche community.

Car Audio Innovations "” Car Audio Innovations Porsche Audio Upgrades
Car Audio Innovations "" 916-780-9450 | 212 Harding Blvd. Suite H Roseville, CA 95678 |

I'm not affiliated with them, and I've never purchased from them, but I have known lots of folks that have had good experience with them."
 
Nothing much more to report apart from confirmation of the above.

The cheapest and simplest is to hook up a Dension (Gateway 500) or MoBridge to the existing CDR 24 unit. You get limited control of the phone via the operating level for the on-board computer

Upgrade to a PCM 2.1 in conjunction with the Dension or MoBridge allows on screen access to your phones address book and dialing via the keyboard, etc.

Final option is a non OEM upgrade as detailed Car Audio Innovations for example - this option is around the same price as an PCM 2.1 plus Dension/MoBridge upgrade but technically better.

So no easy or cheap fix I'm afraid
 
I have a nearly new (3000 mile) multi-function steering wheel and attendant 3-stalk (lights/cruise/wipers) assembly off my 981 for sale if anyone is interested. Let me know and I'll dig out the details. Carefully removed by Porsche Centre when I bought the car from them.

Think this maybe on the wrong thread [8D]
 
Just trying to be helpful in responding to your original post about a multifunction steering wheel, just in case you wanted one.

Sorry got the wrong end of the thread :)

Not sure the 981 version would fit a 987, can anyone confirm?
 
My son managed to source a used Dension which just came out of a 911

Before we attempt an install may need some help

Does anyone have a PDF copy of the installation and/or wiring guide for the
Porsche CDR 24 unit.

Thanks in advance
 
Is this what you are after?
