I bought my first Porsche last weekend and am now the delighted owner of a 2008 C2S with loads of lovely extras :thumbs:
I'm learning quite a lot about the marque and am finding this forum to be very helpful.
The car with PCM2 along with a multi-changer CD fitted, has two drawbacks for me. Firstly, the lack of an iPod interface and secondly, the issue over the SIM. I think that I may have a solution for the latter but still feel that a BT kit would be worthwhile. The iPod interface is something else!
I have had experience of Dension's products before now and would be happy to have a Gateway 500 fitted along with their BT module (BTA1500). I've compared this unit with the one from Mowbridge and would probably go for Dension simply because of a previous good experience.
Buying the kit and having it fitted isn't much of an issue; the charge for getting an OPC to configure it would have to been accepted BUT what about it being a non Porsche approved accessory and invalidating the warranty!!!
The Porsche approved option is a no go and I'm disappointed that the "official" version is so costly given it's lack of integration and performance (doesn't function via the PCM and the iPod's output is via the aux port).
What have you PCM2 owners done to overcome this issue? Do you really have to remove the unit for any future warranty checks?
Thanks for your input.

I went in to the OPC to buy a Cayman S and came out with a C2S also...ridiculously infectious isn't it?
