Can anyone recomend somewhere helpful who know their stuff to get one of these from? I need to get it sent to Jersey and fitted localy. Probably going for the bluetooth kit too. Thanks Guys.

I have bought 2 from MaxxCount (www.dension4u.de)in Germany. They seem to know their stuff and have an English speaking expert (Nadja). Their web site was very detailed regarding the different MOST bus connectors used by Porsche.

The price was better than I could get in the UK. Delivery was quick and they take PayPal.

There is also a supplier in the Channel Islands (CICI). Have no experience of them though.

Fit it yourself.....
I tried to get a mobile stereo fitter bloke to do it, and he had no idea, so I gave it a go myself. The hardest part is removing the plastic trim. I'd be happy to give you some instructions; you be finished within an hour.

I've got to drag this one up; does anyone have experience with the USB connection on a Dension gateway? Does it take long to browse through the tracks?

no experience of the Porsche one, but I had a Dension attached to a Kenwood head unit (using the multichanger port) and it was truely appalling! When it worked (which was seldom) it was slow as a dog. The support guys asked me to upgrade the firmware which involved some horrible jiggery-pokery with the Ipod. Got that to work eventually and no improvement! Ripped it out and sold it on ebay (sold as seen with all the history of problems disclosed)!
