I have a 2003 40th Anniversary Edition 911 and it has the full PCM module with Bose. I store all my music on my Sony MP3 walkman and I am looking for a way of connecting it to the car. I have tried an FM wireles connection, but the constant loss of reception is too annoying and the sounds quality is not great. Does anyone have any ideas?

Does it have an input for a cd changer? If so, get a cable which is a headphone plug on one end, and then those red and white audio plugs on the other, then just plug it in th eback as if it were the cd changer?

I have a CD changer installed already unfortunately, I assume it would only have one connection?

Perhaps you could fit some sort of 2 way switch so you could choose which input you want - changer or external device:

I'm in a similar position (though no PCM), would be interested to hear about your solution....

I will let you know what I find out. I have heard there is a way of connecting it through the CD changer input and I have a friend of mine looking into it. Will let you know if I get anywhere!

In my old golf, i used to have an ear phone to audio in, which went in to one of the auxillaries on the stereo.

PCM1 obviously has this for the CD changer, and dont see why a switch wouldnt work?

Spoke to a place in wandsworth and he said something about some digital signals or something - thats where i got confused and switched off as didnt have a clue what he was talking about
