And secondly, can anyone recommend the best way to get an iPod connected as the current iPOD FM transmitter makes it sound more like i'm listening to vinyl rather that digital quality.
Leading evidence: 'Recommend best way' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend best way' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Even early 997 which were advertised as having TMC did not work in the UK until an upgrade was sorted..
I've recently bought an 04 C4S 996 and just have a couple of questions on the PCM.
Is it possible to upgrade this to include the traffic function? I'm getting mixed stories on this.
And secondly, can anyone recommend the best way to get an iPod connected as the current iPOD FM transmitter makes it sound more like i'm listening to vinyl rather that digital quality.
Any comments really appreciated.
I am unaware of any upgrade to put Traffic info onto a PCM2.
Best iPod solution I found was to go to the Dension Gateway 500 which integrates with the MOST optical bus the PCM2 is connected to. Also allows you to add Bluetooth phone support which I have not done yet but am going to look at.

Thanks for the info,looks good.
I think the problem is that I have the PCM1 and hence no upgrade available for traffic.
Will the Gateway 500 work with the PCM1, does it have the MOST optical connections? The bluetooth connectivity for the phone would be great as I haven't got the patience to start putting my numbers into the phonebook....
an 04 should have PCM2 not PCM1.
Does the SIM card holder for the phone take just the SIM card or the SIM card in a credit card sized holder? If the later it is PCM1 otherwise it is the original PCM2 aka PCM2 with CD Text.
If the PCM2 is set up for TMC, then it could be upgraded- it is simply (!) a matter of finding a nav-disc which has the codes on. It was always very easy with BMWs, but not sure that you will get the upgrade from an OPC. You may have to find out who makes the nav discs for Porsche, and find a compatible car- Vauxhall/Opel ring a bell for some reason.
PCM1- Tape slot
PCM2- CD slot
PCM2.1 (997) CD slot with MP3 and external DVD sat Nav
all could have the SIM card slot, PCM1 was only O2 and Vodaphone where PCM was all bands.
PCM2 does have TMC but
NOT
for the UK as PorscheUK would not buy the licence, it does however work perfectly well in Europe.
Even early 997 which were advertised as having TMC did not work in the UK until an upgrade was sorted..
