Suggestion

If it is FM (which I assume is sh*t), how do I check or change the frequency??

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

Just bought a Cayman, which the previous owner (according to the paperwork) paid a porsche dealer to fit an ipod adapter. This seems to consisit of a standard phone (headphone) jack in the armrest, the lead of which dissapears into a hole in the front of the armrest cubby hole. If I connect an ipod , I can find no way of listening to it - doesnt work via CD or CD Changer (I dont have a CD changer). Some people have said these work via FM, but I cannot find the unit on any FM frequency... Any ideas? If it is FM (which I assume is sh*t), how do I check or change the frequency?? Any advice appreciated.

POST 2Original post

If this is the Porsche's musicplayer interface, yes, it's a wired FM modulator...

POST 3Original post

Try the low end of your tuning spectrum. I believe the only porsche branded input is FM -based. It is wired-fm, which will have no interference from other FM stations and will sound as good as the strongest FM station you can imagine. I have this set-up for satellite radio and actually I am quite pleased with it. I would not qualify myself as an audiophile, but for driving in the Cayman and listening to a mix of sports, talk, and music I find the FM set-up to match the level of the base radio just fine.

POST 5Original post

Right, well I've manually checked evry FM frequency with an ipod plugged in. so I can only assume it's broken....

POST 6Original post

It's possible it's not the OEM FM modulator interface, in that case it will have an on\off switch somewhere.

POST 7Original post

Hmm. Will have a look. It was bought in may last year at an OPC for £75. I may call them...

POST 8Original post

I have noticed with my aftermarket (non-Porsche) RF modulator, that the iPod comes through much quieter then any other FM station. You might want to turn the volume on your iPod as high as possible while looking for a station.

POST 9Original post

Thanks, tried that, but no joy. Beginning to think it is buggered...

POST 10Original post

Maybe it wasn't installed properly or a fuse has blown, etc. Installation is pretty easy with the articles on this site.
