For those of you who aren't members yet, I'd suggest it. Great info is available with a nominal donation. The above link is to the PCM retrofit that includes DVD navigation system for 2004 Cayennes (as well as other 2005 models). I am interested in seeing the price for the whole package including install. If the DVDs are included, don't forget to mention that part since I'll skip that most likely and buy them direct.

Also, I have put in a parts request via Sunset (thanks Loren) and hope it's a part the dealership will install if I buy it from another parts provider. If not, I'm sure I'll be hunting a Floridian down with a PST2 :)

What does this update do, and how much does it cost?

MSRP on the setup is roughly $5000 (it's either $4800 or $5800). Either way, I am seriously not interested.

I've now got 2 electrical engineering students contracted from the local university here to work on rebuilding my system to continue using the existing fiber-optic system and stereo controller, but rewiring it with a software based interface on a touchscreen. They have a prototype due up by November 21st as their project for school. Cost to me? Parts! I'm helping them write the interface in an XML based display system developed originally for my work to display a custom UI in an HTML based browser (I intended to use it for HTA style GUI for a non-gui'd program for a huge CLI-driven saw, but carpenters were adamant against making it too easy). I'll be posting pictures if it's not a massive failure.

Please note that the unit in 2009 GTS failed after 1,600 miles and 45 days. It started rebooting itself every 2-5 minutes when on a route and heading South.

Who knows?????
