Just picked up a used
2006 Cayman S
and had a question about integrating my
IPhone
. I have read number of posts about different modules (Denison/NAVTV) to gain
iphone
control etc but all I am concerned about is having a simple line out and I DON’T want an FM modulator. My car has navigation with
Bose
audio (
PCM
2.1??) Would swapping the CD Changer for this conector from EBAY achieve what I am looking for?

I don't think so. The CD changer runs on the MOST optical bus. But I'd wait for a second opinion before writing it off completely.
The headphone jack typically isn't the best way to get a connection to a line input anyway. An adapter that breaks out the line out on the cable connection is better.
Swap the head unit and get a dedicated
iPhone
jack that comes (or is an available option) with the aftermarket units.
The CDR-24 is a tin box.
That unit works with the OLDER style CDR-220 stereos used in the Previous generation
Boxster
and
Carrera
. Works great but NOT compatible at all with the CDR-24.
If you have
PCM
, do yourself a favor and put in the Dension. Email me with any questions:

You can gain iPod, USB, Aux in, and Bluetooth with one main integration unit.
Eric, I assume installing a Dension requires getting rid of the CD changer? Does the Dension permit me to control the iPod from the
PCM
?
I am not sure I understand your objective regarding the level of control of the
iPhone
, play it through the CDR or control it from the CDR.
If you want a good signal from the
iPhone
into the aux jack only, you can get a
iPhone
dock port connector to a 3.5mm stereo jack cable for the AUX port. This gives you good audio out, using the head phone jack is not the way to go, as that yields poor quality sound.
A dock to 3.5mm cable does not permit controlling the
iPhone
from the CDR, but those cables are about $10.00. You can even get one that includes a usb connector so you can plug into a cigarette adapter and charge the unit will using it (about $15.00). if you want to control the phone from the radio, you should look at other options such as the Denison.

The 06-08 Caymans don't have Aux inputs.
