Dension Gateway 500 and PCM1

[pizzafly]

Hi

I have a 911 2002 which has the PCM1 16 bit Nav system and Bose Sound

I am told that the Dension 500 is compatible but before I take the plunge would love to know if anyone else has tried the system with PCM1. Is the PCM1 a fibre optic system ( my car is around July 2002)

Also has anyone also tried the bluetooth adapter that comes with the system

Thanks for any knowledge it will be much appreciated

The first pre-release Gateway 500s (~1.5 year ago) was mainly developed on a 2003 Cayenne PCM1. It had a MOST optical bus, but the fiber optic cables were made by Yazaki and not Tyco (all cars nowadays uses Tyco cables/connectors).

For this reason Dension offers a Yazaki->Tyco optical conversion kit.

Anyway the functionality will be the same as on PCM2 or PCM2.1.

Thank you for your response.

I also put a call into Porsche UK with my chassis no and they confirmed that although the car is a 2002 it does infact have the MOST system fitted so I am having this done this weekend. The guy fitting it said he has both types of the kit you mentioned
