Hi all, I am considering installing (DIY) iPOD and phone BT integration on a PCM 2.1 (MY05 C2). Have been reading all I can about different packages that can do this, but will have now to ask you expert or experienced opinions before pulling the trigger (or push the buy button). I would like any opinion, thought and discussion on comparison of the three packages from Dension, Mobridge and NAV-TV based on: 1. Ease of use or functional 2. Cost 3. Ease of installation 4. Support (downloadable SW), phone support.... 5. Intangibles as to why you would pick one over the others Many thanks Mike

CD stuck in PCM

If everything is still working, would adding a Dension Ipod kit ($500) be a better option? CD is a PITA anyway. You can play 1000+ song with full control of your Ipod from OEM equipment. Just a thought. -
I am working overseas and only get to drive my "baby" every couple months. My solution to keep the battery charged was to use an old battery charger with dual mode, 6amp and 2amp, AND an old mechanical timer ((stolen from my wife Christmas tree set up!). I set the charger on low 2amp charge for 5 hours a day. This timing was arbitrary as I have no idea how much battery drain on an idle 997. Clipped directly into the battery terminals in the front trunk as the old charger didn't have a cigarette lighter connection. One issue was the trunk light remained on all time as I could not completely close the trunk with electrical wire hanging out. This could burn out the lamp and or drain the battery further. I resolved this problem by prying out the light assembly (very simple with a screw driver), unclipped the connection, and voila, light off. One unanswered question from me is whether it is harmful to the battery if overcharged. I don't want to face with replacing these expensive batteries every time I come back from overseas.
