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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Does anyone know of a radio with bluetooth (and sat nav) as a replacement for a CDR 23 unit. I have bought a PCM2 unit for a retro fit but will still need to connect a phone to it. I have had a Parrot unit fitted which works OK but would like it integrated. Comments and feedback would be gratefully received. Thanks Graham Thanks Graham

POST 2Original post

Hi Graham, I have just replaced my CDR23 with a Becker 7990 Grand Prix. It has Bluetooth and iPOD intergration and is a single DIN size unit, so swaps over quite easily. If you need a MOST headunit, you need to use a Porsche unit... CDR23 or PCM2 [8|] I have just the standard speakers in my 996, so the head unit does the amplification (via ISO connections), I also did not have a CD Changer. Non (standard), PSS (Porsche Sound System) or BOSE. If you have PSS or BOSE you will find you have a seerate amplifier connected by fibre optic (MOST BUS) and this is a headache if you want to keep your speakers and amplifer. If you have a CD Changer, it too will use the MOST BUS fibre optic conections. I like the OEM look and operation of the Becker unit and the next model up, the Becker CASCADE version includes a very good satnav facility. Paul

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thansk Paul, Unfortunately you have confirmed my frears, MOST is a pain, I have the Bose system. So looks like I have to do the PCM retro fit. I am looking at buying the Dension Gateway 500 to allow Ipod connection. I do not know if anyone has found a alternative ipod solution for a MOST system. Apart from the FM transmitter solution Many Thanks Graham
