Just happened to my early 2005 Turbo, 66K miles My mechanic replaced just the bearing in the back and then something in my drive shaft failed after 20 miles. (see pict of my bearing) We are working out a deal since I now am getting a new drive shaft. I wanted the Vertex drive shaft but he talked me out of it a) No longer elligle for the core credit since he took it apart fixing the bearing B) Mechanic thinks a new driveshift from Porsche is worth the extra $200 it will cost me, verses a rebuilt Vertex This is costing me $1500+ and my car is still a baby with low miles. I read about this problem everyone now on the fourms. My question - where is the class action law suit against Porsche or the recall?

1) That's the way DICE was designed. 2) Since its been warm in the last two week, I have not lost my IPOD yet. Great!!! But when this cold, I can plug in the Ipod all I want and it is not recognized. 3) Loses position in a song. Both the CD in the PCM and the IPOD, but not too often 4) its a 2004, lets hope the battery is not failing. If this continues next winter I bet a Mobridge is in my future

Mudman-thanks for the suggestions, here is what I found 1-The DICE is wired into the PCM, so both are always switched, right? 2-Temp is a factor, the last week its been cold, (you know being from Bucks) and the Dice was never recognized, once even the AMP The last 3 days its been warm, every morning and afternoon now the DICE has been recognized. 3- Once I have had a minor issue, both the CD in the PCM and the IPOD lost their time place. Do you think that maybe my car battery is going bad? I was thinking about trying another DICE? What about trashing the DICE and going with Mobridge? Any thoughts, thanks PS-Thanks for the "Swap Air Filters" help, did that this warm sunny Saturday

I too am having the similar problems. I had some professionals install the DICE Ipod adapter. This only happens after the car sits a while and mostly when the temp goes below 32F overnight. I get a CD CHANGER not found. So I drive my car 5 minutes, pull over, shut my engine off and remove the key. Wait 1 minute, start the car back up and guess what, the IPOD adapter is fully functional. Sometimes the IPOD or regular head-unit CD player loses it place and time if the car sits over night. This never has happened in my heated garage. Brought this into Porsche once, they say my AMP has an error code and I replaced it. Only once since has my AMP not been found. Still happens. I have a 2004 Cayenne-S with NAV, no real CD-changer. How does one check for a “slightly bad Fiber connection” What is a “PST2 or PIWIS” I love my music almost as much as my car, is it worth trying another PCM head-unit? I bet I can find one used under $1000. Mudman2- When you wrote “My temp Fiber bypass of CDC”, was this temperature or temperature. Wondering if this part could fix my issue. Many thanks for I am at wits end!!!
