I'm looking to upgrade my 986 Boxster S head unit as it's a bit out dated and doesn't do the bits I want, bluetooth, ipod, possibly sat nav etc. I want something that's in keeping with the rest of the car and doesn't look too out of place or tacky. Does anyone know of anything under the £400 mark that will do the job?

Cheers,

Andrew

I got a Becker Grand Prix for my 964 and I'm very pleased with it. Good audio, bluetooth, full iPhone/iPod connectivity. Looks like this. Really suits the look of the car I think.



The only downside so far is that it doesn't charge my iPhone. And they don't make them anymore...I got mine of ebay for around £300.

They do a sat nav version as well but it looks a bit rubbish to me. Would rather use my phone when required.

Junior, it should charge using one of these...

I have it connected to my 4S on the Range Rover and it charges it.

Cheers Evo! Just bought it. Didn't even know something like that existed.

Hi

My iPod lead wont charge my iPod so would this little device allow charging from the iPod lead in armrest of my 997? Would be great if it does as I keep forgetting to charge it!

PF,
As long as your car has charging capability for the old versions of the iPod (pre-2006) this device will allow you to charge all the modern stuff from Apple including the 4s! So in short, yes I think it will work in your car.

Hope this helps
