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.

  • Planet-9: 1 discussions

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

I am looking at a 2008 Cayman . What do I need to know from the seller to know what my options are to add an aux audio input? I understand from other threads that the current setup matters in terms of my options... thanks; sorry to add another thread on this. I am sure the topic has been beat up pretty good. thanks again- YOLT

POST 2Original post

I should add this... I do not want to use an FM transmitter, and I do not want it to integrate with the nav unit. I just want to select songs off an mp3 player (sony right now) and have it play, hard-wired, through the audio system. hope that helps and thanks again....

POST 3Original post

I believe the only way to do this without the fm modulation is via a denison gateway unit that runs about $500. This will allow various additional inputs into the oem system. This should work with any of the three factory audio option levels and with or without a nav.

POST 4Original post

Bumping this thread, in case anyone has additional info on this topic. I have a 2008 Cayman S with PCM and have had terrible experiences with FM transmitters and am looking for another way to play audio via my iPhone . Is the Denison 500 (or similar) still the only way of doing this, or is there a more simple way to do this without integrating with the nav unit? Thanks in advance for any guidance and advice!

POST 5Original post

Sorry bud but the Dension is the cheapest way of doing what you're looking for.

POST 6Original post

Starting to look like the Denison is better reviewed than the mObridge. I've got an 06 Cayman with PCM and I'd love integrating bluetooth phone and iPod into it.

POST 8Original post

I'm very happy with this. I just run nav, audio, etc through Siri on iPhone . http://www.planet-9.com/987-cayman-...yman-boxster-electronics/89456-cheap-bluetooth-audio-streaming-phone-cdr24.html

POST 9Original post

Hm didn't know about that option...my only hesitation is having to take the unit out and mail it to them, seems a bit of a hassle. May have a look around locally to see if someone could do something similar.

POST 10Original post

I hope this post isn't hijacking this thread. But I just bought (haven't picked up yet though) a 2008 Boxster with PSM2.1 installed. The guys says it also has the Bluetooth phone attachment added. I will not be using a phone with this setup. So can I use the Bluetooth to play my iPod? If so, how do I make it work?
