03 TT w/PCM Dension ipod install question

[EricGT3]

I have an 03 TT with Nav PCM (MOST). I think it's 2.0 version. I do not have a CD changer and it seems there is no pre-wiring for the CD changer up front. I want to install the Dension ipod unit. I believe I will need to somehow get onto the MOST ring at some point. Should I connect through the amp? Or is there a connector on the radio head unit in the dash? Will I need another MOST harness from the dealer?

Just want to have everything ready before I tear into the car.

Thanks

Contact your local Dension stockist, and look on the dension web site for installation instructions as a downloadable .pdf file. My understanding is that the PCM 2 and 2.1 units both use the MOST fibre optic system to communicate and relay sound from the CD changer. I beleive from other posts that the MOST system is live on all PCM units though the cable may not be installed through to the front luggage area as the early PCM 2 units did not use an external navigation module. The MOST cable will be bright orange and should be visible in the area where the CD changer normally sits or just behind the boot lining at the bulkhead between the battery compartment and the luggage area. The plastic cowl that covers the CD changer position and the brake reservoir is simple to remove with about 10 screws. Porsche should be able to supply the correct MOST cable for the Cd changer to head unit if one is not already installed in your car .

Dual FOT refers to a new revision of the product allowing direct connection to the dension unit from the Porsche OEM fiber optic plug. There are also adapter plugs and wires included in the kit so you can add the dension unit to the existing MOST ring if a CD changer is already installed.

Mine is installed (actually bolted) to the amp frame. Very easy to get at the power and optic ring.

Where is the amp? Sorry, I'm so lazy to explore....

Mine is in the front trunk next to the spare, driver side.
