Porsche Cayman aftermarket head unit

[abifg]

I’ve just bought myself an 07 Porsche Cayman and am looking to find an after market head unit to use Bluetooth for calls, music and DAB radio!

I don’t want to spend an absolute fortune, but definitely something I think the car needs!

If anyone has any experience and knows of a good one, please let me know!

Thanks!

What audio is in the car now? I had an '07 Boxster, with PCM and Bose. I looked at getting new audio, and it was going to cost close to a grand to have the Bose amp and head unit replaced. Seems that there isn't an easy way to just replace the head unit on a Bose setup.

What I settled for in the end was a Dension unit that added USB/iPod connectivity via the CD changer controls on the PCM head unit. Pretty straightforward DIY installation, just needs a power connection and plugging into the MOST fibre optic. I fitted it next to the CD changer/nav drive in the front luggage compartment.

The unit I fitted was a low spec one that I had previously had in a BMW. They also do them with Bluetooth connectivity for phone and music. Not sure if they do DAB.

It doesn’t have the Bose setup, I’ve seen a bit about the Dension unit whilst I’ve been looking online.
I’ll have a look into them a bit more, thanks!

These guys should be able to do that, the cost will be less for a CarPlay unit without integrated satnav too

I’ve been thinking of one of these:

Supposed to be plug and play and includes a box of tricks for optical decoding.

I had the same dilemma with a 2004 911. In the end I went for the alpine ezi dab - works well and much cheaper than the denison unit. There are a few drawbacks as it's FM transmitted but as long as i remember to hit the right radio button it takes calls, manages spotify streaming etc. Cost was around £200 fitted at an audio indi
