I have the RayTel tellphone 4200 bluetooth for my 2007 C2S 997.1 and NAV-TV OPi iPod adaptor (OPi-P NAVTV 07 /0928).

I am unhappy with both RayTel and NAV-TV OLD OPI-P.

RayTell TellPhone 4200 does not use the car speakers and mic, has poor quality and just not well integrated. Here is the link to RayTel tellphone 4200: http://archive.pac-audio.com/instructions/tell-4200.pdf

I have an old Nav-TV OPi-P that does not charge my iPhone 4, but works well via my Bose speakers. The new ones do charge, I believe.

I am considering ripping out the RayTell and old Nav-TV Opi-P and replacing with one of the following.

BTW, I did not consider the FM modulated and non-iPhone-charging "Genuine Porsche Music Player Interface" unit that Porsche is selling: http://www.suncoastparts.com/product/OEMKIT.html

Questions:

- What do you use? It is fully integrated? charges iPhone
- Do you need external mic?
- tooki seems to be really expensive, is it worth the $1250
- Are these DIY?
- Any general pointers?

 

I have a Tooki that was professionally removed from my C2Si n November, doesn't work with my CDR 24 head unit. If you go that way, make me an offer.

I thought the Tooki worked well, and had hoped to reuse it. I also have the Gateway 500, and that worked well in my car.

Good luck with your search

 

interface wise they all are similar, i have mobridge since 2009 and it works fine.
look up ebay and find cheapest unit you can get there, if none are there - consult with whoever you want to do install for you.

i got mobridge from ebay for about of $510 or so, it is a single unit device and i like it fine. get newer one with plastic top cover - it is better for bluetooth reception.

 

I installed the mobridge unit, BT only, and I am extremely pleased with the unit. The one speaker now furnished with the unit fit perfectly recessed in the cluster deck. Speaker communication in car and on the other end is as clear as any BT I have owned. It works as advertised. Mounted unit behind the console so I could update unit if necessary. Updates with a SD card and SW download from Cartronics.

 

Also, who would be a good installer (some one comfortable with MOST) in the bay area?

 

anyone ever tried this one?
http://isimplesolutions.com/iphone-i...n-GateWay.aspx

looks like it functions just li the Dension for about 1/2 the cost.

 

It doesn't talk about MOST comparability. The is Porsche's Fibre Optic system that they use for the audio system. If it works with MOST, then buy it.

 

Not compatible with 997s. I get this on the configurator:

"We're sorry, but the Gateway doesn't work with this vehicle. Please try one of our Universal Solutions."

Universal kits are audio jack interface

 

FM modulators

 

Still can't decide!

 

I installed the MoBridge unit myself and it was actually quite simple. Open the trunk and remove all of the removable access covers. Take a phillips screwdriver and remove the 6 or 7 screws that go around the perimeter of the plastic cover that is edged with the rubber gasket. Pull that whole unit out of your way so you complete access. Disconnect the plug to the trunk light as you start to remove the big cover.

My car has a NAV unit so I pushed in the little tabs on each side and slid the unit out of its mounting tray. Push in the tab and remove the fiber plug (has 2 orange fiber cables coming out of it) be careful not to exceed a bend radius of 2" on the fiber cables so you don't break the conductor. Follow the directions for removing one of the fiber cables from that plug and inserting the patch cable provided. Attach the other end of the patch cable to the cable just removed from the plug using the fiber splice they provide. Hook the black wire to battery ground and the red wire to battery positive. Note you have to hook to a constant (non-switched 12v source) source. There is a large rubber grommet in the firewall just to the drivers side and slightly behind the battery, looking at it from the front. Any cabling that needs to go into the passenger compartment (iPod, aux input, etc) can be fed through there. Total install time for me was 1.5 hours and it worked great the first time it fired up.

Some versions of the instructions say you have to get your cars PCM activated by Porsche for a 6 disc CD changer if it didn't come with one from the factory. Mine did not have one and it worked fine without activation but yours may require activation. If your car does have a 6 disc changer under the hood, you will lose that functionality as it has to be looped out of the MOST buss.

 

Thanks TT2911 - Very helpful instructions again!

Scott, I'll call you in a couple of days.

I have PCM2.1, DVD changer disconnected

NorthVan, What year was the tooki. Do you have the model #
Thanks !

 

It is 11/23/07

I have the latest upgrade software on it.

Make me an offer if you are interested in it.

 

Is Mobridge the same as the Dice Mobridge. What is the difference between the itronic and Mobridge, do they both display in the instrument cluster as well as the PCM 2.1 display?

Thanks
