996 Bluetooth/Ipod/USB Options
Discussion
Tomorrow I pick up a 996 turbo 
, I'm just wondering what my options are for bluetooth handsfree and mp3 audio.
In MY RR Sport I have a parrot mki9200 which I like, I fitted it myself (despite being told by many professional installers that it was not possible to put that kit into my model RR) so am happy to fit something to the 996 myself but I don't just know if I want a parrot kit with the little auxiliary screen in the porsche.
The car is a 2002 but looks like MY2003 going on the VIN number so I guess its the MOST system. I've been looking at the dension kit as I would really like either a USB or SD Card option but I don't know how well that will integrate with the standard porsche head unit (no sat nav) and the dension seems to have quite a large price tag.
What to you guys use/recommend?

Don't bother - it will cost you a fortune and still be crap. If you're willing to change the head unit, fit something much more modern that does everything.
I could be talking out of turn since I dont have the car yet to check this out but surely changing the head unit would mean losing the bose amp since its all done with fibre optic right?clockworks said:
Is that a problem? Never been a fan of Bose stuff.
I recently had a new head unit (Alpine CDA-117) and speakers fitted in my 964 at my local car audio specialist, and the result has been a revelation. It cost me £750. With a decent head unit, and the right speakers, and external amp isn't really necessary.
For the most part, I find the standard system sounds fine, I just need the ability to play MP3 and have bluetooth handsfreeI recently had a new head unit (Alpine CDA-117) and speakers fitted in my 964 at my local car audio specialist, and the result has been a revelation.
