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.

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.

I learned today how to do it. I haven't done it yet, but I will in the near future.
I was getting my V1 hardwired at a local high-end car stereo shop. I trust them more than myself to do stuff like that.
Anyway, I asked them about the Porsche system on '02's with Bose and the lack of the Aux input for MP3 players, etc.
He told me that they could do that no problem. They did one with a Satellite and MP3 player hookup.
It's a work-around. They basically hook a relay or switch (not sure of terminology) into the CD player hookup.
The stereo always thinks it's playing a CD, but a switch on the dash controls what's actually being fed into it. So, the head unit will always say "CD", but your switch can make it feed in either the CD, the MP3 player, or whatever else you hook up to it. There's no loss of quality, and it's all digital.
I'm going to do this very soon and I'll post results.
[If this was already known to the board, my apologies, but I just learned it, so I thought I'd share]
Well, I'm not sure actually because I don't know what years have what input, but I know this SHOULD work (I say should b/c I haven't done it yet) on my '02 TT with the Bose system. I'm guessing any pre-'02 it should.
As for '03 and beyond, I dunno. The fiber optic may cause a problem.
Yes but you have to keep the connection to the CD changer and feed a digital stream to inside the cd changer before the MOST adapter...i already had that idea...I was gonna buy a spare MOST cd changer and see if I could do it...
I'm not familiar with the MOST but it sounds the same. I know that a CD has to be in the player and spinning even if you're actually hearing the MP3 player or whatever.
I'm not audiophile-techno guy, so I can't speak to details.
I have the Delphi SkyFi system and would like to use in my cab. I have the CDR220 w/aux available. Has anyone found a way to use tha aux connection with the SkyFi? They only offer the FM modulation or cassett option... thx
Scott,
Your installer is correct. You have an analog based system, so consider yourself lucky; upgrades are quite simple.
All Porsches before MY03 had analog audio systems. MY02 offered a Bose system, along with Becker. MY01 and earlier were only Becker.
MY03+ are MOST (fiber optic) based systems and much more complicated to hack into (trust me, they're hard enough to just get working in the cars
). The link posted by tool pants has some info, as would a search for "MOST".
As previously discussed, there are plans to offer external audio interface devices for MOST, but these are still 2-3 years away. Details can be found on the Oasis website (they're the German company who sold MOST to the German OEM's.....long story behind MOST).
