Ask your OPC if they can retrofit iPod connectivity, if so problem solved and it works a treat!

ETA - looks like they can it's in the Tequipment catalogue

You said "iPhone MUSIC"... yes.

Firstly, I assume gen 1 of the 997 ?

There is an official Porsche option to connect an iPod/iPhone music and keeps the warranty intact. Costs £400 (parts, labour, VAT) and is a device that hooks in via the ariel input and provides an iPod connection in the cubby hole behind the gearstick. You connect via tuning the radio into a certain frequency, then manually select the iPhone (or iPod) tracks.

The solution doesn't provide an ability to charge whilst listening, or to select tracks from the PCM, plus if you're going through a built up area you will get interference from other radio stations (ie. anywhere in London).

I had one in my 997. It was rubbish.
