New 997.2, no universal audio interface / ipod adapter / USB

[s2928]

I am taking delivery of my new, 2009 C4S from dealer at end of month.

Does not have the factory installed Universal Audio Interface for connecting ipod, usb or external audio.

The parts include a cable that connects to the PCM, and a small dock with the ports for connecting t devices.he

Is this something the dealer can install?

Is it a set of parts I could order and install myself?

There are two different Porsche kits - one for cars with PCM 3.0 and one for cars with CDR 30. US MSRP $447.66 and $239.84 respectively.

iPhone requires an additional cable. About 2 hours labor to install.

There are TSBs (one for each) with installation instructions available here to our Contributing Members.

Thank you.

Just heard back from the dealer. He quoted me $539.

I think I may tackle it myself.

anybody know how to remove the pcm3?

i bought the kit for pcm3 on sale for $299.

tried the install today. i couldnt figure out how to remove the pcm3.

the unit should slide forward, but i couldnt figure out how to get it loose.

it is held in place with 4 tension clips on the sides, and above each one, a hex nut (size 5 or 6) mechanism.

it seems like you would need to push in the clips from the side, and slide the unit forward. i also tried turning the hex nuts, but still, couldnt get the pcm to slide out.

anybody removed the pcm3 in a 997.2? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if it's a bit late but it is my understanding that as oposed to the factory installed universal audio interface, the add on after factory interface will not let you operate your MP 3 via the in-dash radio controls. i.e. you have to use the mp3 controls on your i-pod to select playlists, etc.

not correct. all controls will be the same as factory installed (we are talking here about PCM3 units)
