  1. I think your PCM 2.1 also has fiber optic wiring. If such is the case, you will probably need to get the MOST unit. Call Sean at Ray's electronics (630) 237-4333 and he'll be able to give you a definitive answer.

    That's prime. Sean sounds like someone who would lend definition to this inquiry. I'll do just (we'll soon find out if he's open on a Sunday) and I'll post his answer. Very appreciated, grdlaw.

  2. One thing you should be aware of with Alpine products...it requires that a wire be connected to the parking brake wire in order to access the menu controls in order to avoid being able to that while driving.  Have your installer install a manual kill switch instead.  Otherwise, you will never be able to access the menu controls unless your parking brake is activated.  

    Whoa! This is really a key thing to know.  

    What I'd really like to get it is whether I would still need the  MOST-HUR955 Fiber Optic head unit even though I don't have a Bose system. 

  3. I had the Alpine iLX 007 professionally installed about 1 month ago and love it. Here is a pic of the install.

    That looks dazzling, grdlaw. That's exactly what I'm looking for.  How much was the installation proportional to the system itself? I'm quoted anywhere from $179 (by folks who have installed stuff for me before and whom I trust)  to almost $700 (by Best Buy). It does not appear that I have the premium Bose "most" unit. Advice is appreciated, folks, and I thank you for it. 

  4. Hi Folks,

    I'm new here though I have been lurking and learning for a little while. I'm wondering if anyone has gotten CarPlay radios to work with their Cayennes (mine is an 06), or if someone may be able to suggest a process whose installation inst as costly as the receiver itself.

    I'm looking at the beautiful and intuitive Alpine i007 (or ix007). The back is half the length so presumptively an installation would be simplified, but no idea. It's the interface that gets me. Nothing fancy; nothing that says "we're trying to make EVERY phone in the world work with this." Very clean.

    Let me know if you have suggestions, folks, and particularly in the Sputh Florida Area. I'll post those pics once it's installed and you'll love it.

    Thank you,

    Jesus
