Today I yanked the factory CDC-3 in my 2002 (pre MOST) 996 C2 Cab

Check out this picture:

The Outer two connectors are on a circuit board removed from an Alpine/sirius Unit (I converted it to USB). The Cable in between is from the back of the Porsche/Becker Changer.

While i would doubt they actually talk the same protocol (I believe AI-Net can carry the audio without needing the seperate RCA's that the changer uses), it appears you could hack in an alpine head unit and put alpine accessories under the Hood/Trunk (whatever you guys call it!) and use the factory wiring. You'd need to spend some quaility time building a custom cable with an AI-Net & Metra 70-1787 kit (which fits the factory harness), but i'd bet you could prevent having to puncture the firewall!.

I haven't tried this as I'm building a custom car computer, but I figured there might be someone out there wanting to go Alpine......
