Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster, so be gentle.

This past weekend, I've proudly become the owner of my first Porsche, a 2004 997.1 carrera S coupe.

I bought it from a very good friend who is a dealer, and I'm very pleased with it indeed.

There are two questions that you lovely helpful people could help me with please.

First is does anyone have a 996/997 roof system that they no longer need and would be happy to sell to me?

One of the reasons for getting a hard top was so that I can carry my bike on the roof.

Second is does anyone have any experience of the Dension Gateway system for ipod/iphone connectivity?

My mate who sold me the car reckons that I should keep the ICE standard and just fit the Dension to spoof the PCM into thinking that the ipod is the CD multichanger.

However in the two car audio specialists that I've been to, they've recommended replacing the head unit for something with DAB, bluetooth and sat nav.

The Dension comes in at £450. New head unit £1150-1750 fitted.

I'm leaning very much towards the Dension, was just wondering if anyone's had it fitted, and how well it worked? The online reviews are somewhat mixed. Thanks in advance.
