Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The former approach will be considerably cheaper, but you would ideally need a power converter as running a cable from the cigar lighter to the windscreen is a pain.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, My wife has a '13 Cayman 2nd Gen and wants DAB fitted to the std radio combo. Is there anyone who people would recommend in/around the Northampton area to do a good job - Porsche Silverstone say they don't provide an upgrade.... Thx in advance

POST 2Original post

why the need for DAB ?

Be careful of voiding the warranty with aftermarket upgrades...

POST 7Original post

There are two ways to go with the basic audio in a Cayman (assuming the CDR-30 and not PCM). Accept its limitations as you care about invalid warranties - and maybe use an FM modulator such as http://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/dab-r... Rip the whole lot out and put in a decent head unit with sat nav, bluetooth, DAB, iPod, etc. The former approach will be considerably cheaper, but you would ideally need a power converter as running a cable from the cigar lighter to the windscreen is a pain. You can get suitable power leads from eBay (look for motorcycle satnav power leads) and hook it into the rear wiper fuse in the fuse box. You may also need a DAB aerial fitted according to the reviews.

I don't fancy the idea of ripping the whole lot out and it'd probably be cheaper to just divorce the wife.....
